Abstract

In 2002, Chicago was selected as one of five demonstration sites for the Racial and Ethnic Adult Disparities in Immunization Initiative (READII). READII was a multiyear demonstration project focused on identifying effective methods to increase influenza and pneumococcal vaccination rates among African American and Hispanic senior citizens (>=65 years of age).
