Intent to Receive Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent and Seasonal Influenza Vaccines
Two Counties, North Carolina, August 2009
To assess intent to receive influenza vaccines among children and adults, during August 2009, the North Carolina Center for Public Health Preparedness conducted a community assessment in two counties to measure knowledge of and intent to receive H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccines. The results determined that 64% of adults reported intent to receive H1N1 vaccine. In addition, 65% of parents reported intent to have all their children vaccinated for H1N1, whereas 51% said they would have all their children vaccinated for both H1N1 and seasonal influenza.
