Target Groups for Vaccination All persons at risk for medical complications from influenza or more likely to require medical care and all persons who live with or care for persons at high risk for influenza-related complications should receive influenza vaccine annually. Approximately 73% of the United States population is included in one or more of these target groups; however, only an estimated one third of the United States population received an influenza vaccination in 2006-2007. When vaccine supply is limited, vaccination efforts should focus on delivering vaccination to these persons. |
