Flu season is in swing and likely won't let up until April.
It seemed like high time to check in on how Americans feel about flu vaccination, so we asked more than 3,000 adults in the latest NPR-Truven Health Analytics Health Poll, conducted during the first half of October.
All told, 62 percent of people said they had been vaccinated or intended to get vaccinated against flu.
Those who hadn't been immunized and don't plan on it cited a variety of reasons. The top factors include a belief that a flu shot (or spray) is unnecessary for them (48 percent of the group), concerns about side effects or risks (16 percent) and worries that the vaccine could infect them with the flu (14 percent). About 8 percent of the people who plan to skip vaccination said it's because they believe it's ineffective.

This article screams of BS propaganda written by the pharmaceutical company. Enjoy your toxins, I will donate my dose to some lemming with a herd mentality. Every year it is the same story... people sick and dying because the relevant strain was not even in the vaccine.
Just keep paying big pharma to inject their left over toxins in your body so that you can still get sick from the flu each year.
thumbs^^^^^
and 48% aren't too bright....
