Period of time	group	Total number of questions	Correct number of questions	the total awareness rate(%)	χ2	P
Before intervention	the experimental group^a	3845	1947	50.6	1.874	0.171
Before intervention	the control group^b	3845	2007	50.2	1.874	0.171
After intervention	the experimental group	3845	2703	70.3	0.050	0.822
After intervention	the control group	3845	2694	70.1	0.050	0.822

These items used to assess the awareness of influenza were from Table 3
^aThe total awareness rate of influenza vaccine in the experimental group before and after the intervention was statistically different.(χ² = 310.916, P < 0.001)
^bThe total awareness rate of influenza vaccine in the control group before and after the intervention was statistically different.(χ² = 258.3, P < 0.001)
