adults has doubled in
the past decade.

diabetes
management, are
increasing.

increasing.
• “Medium-level” pandemic in the U.S.
could cause

314,000 to 734,000 hospitalizations
18 to 42 million outpatient visits

• Highest rate of
uninsurance
since data
collection
began in King

health days
• Hospitalizations for
psychosis, but not
depression, have
increased since 1987

Hepatitis rates down
• Hepatitis A
1997: 441 cases

Adolescent Births Declining
Immunizations increase but still

Coverage increasing since 2001
81% of kids have full coverage
HP 2010 objective of 90% not yet met
Adults 65 years and older
Pneumonia vaccination has increased to 65%
Influenza immunization rate static at 70%
Both rates below the HP 2010 objective of 90%.
