and influenza.<br />

n Overall, the percentage of adults age 65 and over who reported ever having pneumococcal<br />
vaccination increased from 53% in 2000 to 61% in 2009 (data not shown). Increases were observed<br />
among all racial and ethnic groups between 2000 and 2009 (Figure 2.39).<br />
n In all years, Blacks and Asians were less likely than Whites, and Hispanics were less likely than non-<br />
Hispanic Whites to have pneumococcal vaccination.<br />
n The 2008 top 5 State achievable benchmark was 67%. xxi At the current annual rate of increase, this<br />
benchmark could be attained overall in about 8 years. Whites could attain the achievable benchmark<br />
in about 6 years, while Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics would not attain the benchmark for 16, 19, and<br />
30 years, respectively.<br />
