Graph C, below, shows BRFSS data on people who reported seeking health care for influenza like illness (ILI) by race and ethnicity from interviews conducted September through December 2009. According to the survey data, 43% of respondents reported seeking health care for their ILI. The percentage of respondents who sought medical care for ILI was similar among all respondents, including non-Hispanic white respondents, non-Hispanic black respondents, Hispanic respondents, and American Indian and Alaska Natives.
