As the U.S. enters the notorious flu season, less than half of adults plan on getting their flu shot, including some at higher risk for influenza-related complications.
According to a survey from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID), approximately 49% of adults reported they plan on getting the vaccine despite over 60% of respondents agreeing it is the best preventative measure against flu-related deaths and hospitalizations.
Moreover, 1 in 5 Americans with a higher risk of complications from influenza refuse to get the shot.
