Unraveling Influenza Vaccination Disparities among American Indian and Alaska Native Populations: A Comparative Study between H1N1 and COVID-19 Pandemics

Description

Abstract:
The American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) population in the United States has disproportionately higher rates of several infectious and vaccine preventable diseases, which result in disparities in morbidity and mortality rates. The AIAN population has a greater chance of dying from pneumonia and flu than other races in the United States. Using the Kruskal-Wallis H Test, we analyze possible factors that potentially impact the AIAN influenza vaccination rates. We analyze these rates in various states across time and compare them with non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic Black, and overall population’s rates.
