2013 BRFSS Survey Results: Eastern North Carolina**

Immunization

During the past 12 months, have you had either a seasonal flu shot or a seasonal flu vaccine
that was sprayed in your nose?

(NOTE: A new flu shot came out in 2011 that injects vaccine into the skin with a very small needle. It is called
Flu zone Intradermal vaccine. This is also considered a flu shot.)

PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology and other factors, results from 2013
are NOT comparable to 2010 and earlier years.

***The estimate was suppressed because it did not meet statistical reliability standards. See BRFSS 2013 Annual Results Technical Notes for more details.

Percentages are weighted to population characteristics and therefore cannot be calculated exactly from the numbers in this table.
