Note: Boldface indicates a statistically significant (p<0.05) difference from the reference (NHW) level by chi-square test.
The estimated unadjusted pneumonia vaccination rate for U.S.-born Asian Indians has wide 95% CI owing to small sample size (only 4 Asian Indians in the sample are U.S. born, aged over 65 years, and indicated whether they have received the pneumonia vaccine). The estimated unadjusted shingles vaccination rate for U.S.-born Asian Indians has wide 95% CI owing to small sample size (only 5 Asian Indians in the sample are U.S. born, aged over 60 years, and indicated whether they have received the shingles vaccine).
