The existing studies which examine flu vaccine uptake within specific US racial/ethnic groups are of limited generalizability due to the fact that they focus on the population of individual states or localities ( Bazargan et al, 2020 , Cohen et al, 2012 , Hughes et al, 2018 , Mendiola et al, 2016 , Moran et al, 2017 ), or specific adult subpopulations ( Bazargan et al, 2020 , Crouse Quinn et al, 2017 , Moran et al, 2017 ). We found one study using a nationally representative population, and it examined flu vaccine uptake within the US African American population ( Quinn et al, 2018 ) and a single study that looked at social determinants of health within this group ( Quinn et al, 2018 ).…”
