Sensitivity and specificity of patient self-report of influenza and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccinations among elderly outpatients in diverse patient care strata

We compared self-report with medical record abstraction for 820 persons aged ≥66 years from inner-city health centers, Veterans Affairs (VA) outpatient clinics, rural and suburban practices.
