*21 Participants out of all focus groups only partially filled out demographic questionnaires. All data received is shown here.
**2009 H1N1 vaccination status is only known for 126 participants.
***This total only includes responses of the 119 participants who took part in the 2010 focus groups. Of the 9 new participants who took part in the 2 co-interpretive focus groups in 2013, 3 said that they intended to receive the 2013 seasonal flu vaccine. The remaining 6 said they did not intend to receive it. The other 11 participants in the co-interpretive 2013 focus groups were present in 2010 and their responses are included in the 2010 Seasonal flu vaccine totals. The 39% vaccination rate for 2010 seasonal flu vaccine is thus out of a denominator of 119.
