| ” 1 in 3 Americans already got a flu sho t this year | 2010.12.03 |
| As the flu season gets under way, about 1 in 3 Americans have already been vaccinated, health officials reported Friday. That's about the same rate or even a little ahead of seasonal flu vaccinations at this time last year, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. "We find that very encouraging," said Schuchat, noting that the flu hasn't been in the headlines as it was last year during the swine flu global epidemic. In a survey of adults and children, a third reported getting vaccinated, 15 percent said they would definitely get vaccinated and another 25 percent said they probably would, she said. ..Yahoo Health Newą, 12 03, 2010 |
