Work and Flu Shots: Determinants of Vaccination Rates Among Adults (1991-2011)

This study analyzes if working people are more likely to receive flu shots. Data from the 1991 National Health Interview Survey on adults aged 25 and above is used to determine factors influencing flu vaccine uptake. The binary dependent variable is whether a person got a flu shot in the last 12 months, with the main focus on employment status. The research sheds light on the microeconomic determinants affecting flu vaccination rates.
