Stokley S, Cullen KA, Kennedy A, Bardenheier BH. Adult vaccination coverage levels among users of complementary/alternative medicine - results from the 2002 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). BMC Complement Altern Med. 2008 Feb 22;8:6. PMID: 18294382

Interesting finding - users of CAM in the United States were more likely than non-CAM users to be vaccinated for influenza. CDC is wondering if CAM practitioners may be allies in the effort to reduce morbidity and mortality from influenza.
