@vomit55 -- Thank you for watching and commenting on our video. The reason we chose Black and Latino actors for this commercial was because according to a study published earlier this month called The State of the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic: Boston, the H1N1 virus affected Black and Hispanic residents more severely than other populations.

[BostonPublicHealth]

Of hospitalized flu cases, 37.5 percent were black and 29.7 percent were Hispanic, compared to 24.1 percent of whites. We used this data to inform our education and outreach efforts in Boston, and focused prevention messages to Black and Hispanic audiences. In an effort to connect with these communities we cast Black and Hispanic actors for this commercial.
