Influenza Vaccinations Administered in Pharmacies and Physician Medical Offices, United States
- Since 2019, CDC has been exploring use of data obtained from IQVIAexternal icon as a source of information on vaccinations administered in retail pharmacies (include chain, mass merchandise, food stores, and independent pharmacies) and physician medical offices. These data are being presented publicly for the first time this season; further evaluations of these data are underway.
- These projected pharmacy estimates include flu vaccinations that were billed for (i.e. claims) or paid by cash. Medical office projected estimates are claims-based only.
- Vaccinations administered in other settings such as workplaces and community settings are not included in these data.
