Background: Seasonal influenza vaccination rates are very low among teenagers.
Objectives: We used publicly available data from the NIS-Teen annual national immunization survey to explore factors that influence the likelihood of a teen receiving their seasonal flu shot.
Methods: Traditional stepwise multivariable regression was used in tandem with machine learning to determine the predictive factors in teen vaccine uptake.
Objective: There is significant variation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes between different regions.
