I kept putting mine off this year and just forgot about it. I think that happens to a lot of people too - rather than just outright refusal. It's one of those things you need to make time for and just don't prioritize unless you're extremely worried about it.
- actuallyalys 4y agoYes, I think this is part of it. I’ve certainly forgotten to get the flu vaccine in the past. Having vaccination programs in workplaces and other places people visit often can probably help with that. Pharmacies have begun to offer flu vaccines in the past 10 years or so, which is great. Making all vaccines free to the recipient would also make the choice simpler.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI get paid (by my insurance) $100 to get flu shot, and $200 to get an annual wellness exam, and $100 for an A1C test, and $100 for a cholesterol test every year. So I get at least $500 for spending 30min to go to a doctor every year, which is all the incentive I need to remember to schedule it (as simple as putting a yearly reminder in my calendar).
- tssva 4y agoMy employer has nurses on staff which used to give the flu vaccine. Now that more people are remote and every Walgreens, CVS, Walmart and grocery store with a pharmacy gives them with no charge to those with insurance they have stopped giving it at work. It was convenient to just take the elevator a couple of floors and get the vaccine during lunch. They self-insure so it not only reduced time taken because of illness but reduced their insurance costs.
