How many of the yes voters took the seasonal flu shot? Genuinely asking
- buzzerbetrayed 6y agoThis is a great question, and I wouldn't be surprised if the answer was quite low. Not because people are against it, but because people don't make the effort to get it. This will be a big hurdle for the covid vaccine as well I think. A quick Google search tells me that in the US, 33.9%–56.3% of adults get the seasonal flu shot (children are higher at 46.0%–81.1%).

Luckily they did a "drive through" flu-shot event, and we got it for them that way. Essentially just stick your arm out the window, jab, and go.
- jrockway 6y agoI voted yes and got my flu shot this year.
- scrollaway 6y agoI didn't because it's really hard to get it in my country this year. It's been prioritized for those highly at risk. At this point I'm likely not going to bother given how difficult it is. Usually I do take it fwiw.
- oldie 6y agoI voted yes. I get a flu jab every year, including this year.
- chadlavi 6y agoVoted yes, get the flu shot annually.
- chki 6y agoIt's not recommended for me in my country (Germany) to take the seasonal flu shot, because I'm not over 60. I suppose it might be similar in other countries.
