Since many unvaccinated individuals do not regularly contact the traditional health care system, we sought to determine the role that alternative vaccination locations (e.g., workplaces and retail clinics) could play in increasing influenza vaccination coverage. Between February 14, 2008 and March 10, 2008, a 25-question influenza vaccine questionnaire was administered to a nationally representative, stratified sample of panelists. Our results found that while alternative locations are covering some segments not captured by the traditional health care system (e.g., younger, working, white individuals in metropolitan areas), they are not serving many other segments (e.g., minority, rural, or lower income patients).
由于许多未接种疫苗的个体不经常与传统医疗保健系统接触，我们试图确定其他疫苗接种地点（如工作场所和零售诊所）在提高流感疫苗接种覆盖率方面可能发挥的作用。在2008年2月14日至2008年3月10日期间，我们向一个具有全国代表性的分层抽样小组成员发放了一份包含25个问题的流感疫苗调查问卷。我们的结果发现，虽然其他地点覆盖了一些传统医疗保健系统未覆盖的人群（如大都市地区较年轻、有工作的白人个体），但它们并未服务于许多其他人群（如少数族裔、农村或低收入患者）。
