on October 7, 2021, stating that 44 percent of U.S. adults are unsure or do not plan to get a flu shot. The survey also found that nearly 23 percent of people who are at higher risk for flu-related complications said they were not planning to get vaccinated this season. As usual, this country faces a nearly constant uphill battle against vaccine hesitancy.
For the people who claim that they’ve gotten a flu shot in the past but still got “got sick,” the NFID Medical Director William Schaffner, MD explains that “even in cases when flu vaccination does not completely prevent infection, it can reduce the duration and severity of illness and can help prevent serious complications, including hospitalization and death.”
