Description
For sample adults age 18+ who have ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that they had influenza or pneumonia (FLUPNEUEV) and sample children under age 18, FLUPNEUYR reports whether individuals had influenza or pneumonia during the past 12 months. For sample children, the influenza or pneumonia during the past year had to be diagnosed by a doctor or other health professional.
Related Variables
Several variables in IHIS address vaccinations for flu and pneumonia. For 1991 and 1997 forward, SHOTFLUYR reports whether sample adults/persons (and, beginning in 2005, sample children) had a flu shot during the past 12 months. Beginning in 2005, for those with an affirmative response in SHOTFLUYR, information was also collected on the month (SHOTFLUYRMO) and year (SHOTFLUAGOYR) of their most recent flu shot.
For 2004 forward, the variable SPRAYFLUYR reports whether sample adults (and, beginning in 2005, sample children) had a flu spray vaccine during the past 12 months. Beginning in 2005, for those with an affirmative response in SPRAYFLUYR, interviewers also collected information on the month and year of both the most recent flu nasal spray (SPRAYFLUYRMO and SPRAFLUAGOYR).
In 1991 and 1997 forward, SHOTPNUEV indicates whether sample adults ever had a pneumonia vaccination (SHOTPNUEV).
