- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Influenza Vaccine Coverage in Participants <18 Years of Age by Age Group in Pediatric Practices Seasonal: 2007-2011 Vaccine coverage was calculated from the number of participants vaccinated in each group, divided by the total number of participants under the practice's care in that specific age group.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Compliance With the Recommended Two-dose Regimen in Vaccinated Participants Seasonal: 2007-2011 Compliance was calculated from the total number of participants receiving 2 doses divided by the total number of participants identified as requiring a second dose.
Correlation of Office Vaccination-related Attitudes and Activities With Actual Vaccine Coverage Seasonal: 2007-2011 Correlation of office attitudes related to influenza vaccination and actual vaccine coverage was explored. Sites were asked to indicate level of agreement with the following recommendations: vaccinating children with high-risk medical conditions, patients 6 months to 5 years of age should be vaccinated against influenza each year, patients 5 to 18 years of age without high-risk medical conditions should be vaccinated against influenza each year, and previously unvaccinated patients less than 9 years of age receive 2 doses of vaccine.
