Place of Influenza Vaccination Among Adults—United States, 2010-11 Influenza Season

The 2010-11 influenza season was the first season after the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic and the first season that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended influenza vaccination for all persons aged greater than equal to 6 months. During the pandemic, many new partnerships between public health agencies and medical and nonmedical vaccination providers were formed, increasing the number of vaccination providers. To provide a baseline for places where adults received influenza vaccination since the new ACIP recommendation and to help vaccination providers plan for the 2011-12 influenza season, CDC analyzed information from 46 states and the District of Columbia (DC) on influenza vaccination of adults aged greater than equal to 18 years for the 2010-11 season, collected during January-March 2011 by the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Among other things, a CDC editorial note is included.
