Objectives. We estimated age-standardized ratios of infection and hospitalization among Canadian First Nations (FN) populations and compared their distributions with those estimated for non-FN populations in Manitoba, Canada.

We calculated agestandardized ratios with confidence intervals for each wave and compared ratios between age groups in each ethnic group and between the 2 waves for FN and non-FN populations. Results. Incidence and hospitalization ratios in all FN age groups during the first wave were significantly higher than those in non-FN age groups (P
