MOST AMERICANS DON’T PLAN TO GET FLU SHOTS THIS SEASON

Most Americans don’t plan to get flu shots this season.  According to a survey by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, only 49-percent of adults in the U.S. intend to get flu shots, and one in five who are at higher risk of flu-related complications say they won’t get flu shots.  More Americans are leaning toward wearing a mask to protect against the flu.  Fifty-eight percent of those surveyed said they’ll mask at least some of the time this flu season, almost ten-percentage points more than adults who will be rolling up their sleeves for flu shots.
