title: Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination coverage levels among Hawaii statewide long-term-care facilities.
abstract: Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination rates among Hawaii long-term-care facilities (LTCFs) statewide during the 1996/97 through the 1998/99 influenza seasons revealed that resident influenza vaccination rates remained over 89%, but pneumococcal vaccination was underutilized. LTCF staff influenza vaccination rates over the same time period were low.
