Influenza Immunization Statistics
Statistics on influenza immunization rates are collected via the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. BRFSS is an ongoing data collection program used in all U.S. states, and administered and supported by the CDC. It gives a standard method for each state to collect data, usually through phone interviews, about personal health behaviors that play a major role in premature morbidity and mortality, such as immunization rates.
