Utah’s influenza coverage level for non-institutionalized adults 65 and older in 2008 was 73.3% (2007 was 76.2%). Coverage dropped 3.1% in Utah compared to a .9% drop nationwide. However, Utah’s influenza rate remains higher than the national rate of 71.1%.

Pneumococcal Coverage	2003	2004	2005	2006	2007	2008
U.S. BRFSS persons >65 years	64.7%	64.7%	65.9%	66.9%	67.3%	66.9%

Utah’s pneumococcal coverage level for non-institutionalized adults 65 and older in 2008 was 69.2% (2007 was 68.8%), in contrast to the national rate of 66.9%, which represents a modest rate increase. The Utah rate remains higher than the national rate this year.

Both influenza and pneumococcal vaccination rates are far from the Healthy People 2010 coverage goal of 90%.
