From the 2010 National Health Interview Survey:
[NUMERATOR:]
DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS, has [sample child] had a flu vaccination? This vaccine is usually given in the fall and protects against influenza for the flu season.
During what month and year did [sample child] receive his or her most recent flu vaccine?
Enter year of most recent flu vaccine.
In the 2010-2011 season, the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that all persons aged 6 months and over receive the influenza vaccine. To better assess influenza vaccination coverage (1 or more doses) for each season, we reported coverage restricted to individuals interviewed during September through June, and vaccinated during August through May, using the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis procedure. Vaccination month was imputed when the child was reported to have been vaccinated but was missing the month and/or year of vaccination.
