Influenza Vaccine Participation In South Burlington, Vt, Rio Beardsley

Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects

Influenza vaccination rates in Vermont have declined each year between 2013 and 2016. This study aims to understand why patients decline the annual influenza vaccine. The project was deployed via survey for all adult patients (18 years and older) at the South Burlington UVM Family Medicine practice in 2019. Further information about the influenza vaccine authored by the CDC was then provided to all participating patients, regardless of immunization status.
