During the 2019-20 flu season, 52% of people in the US were vaccinated against the seasonal influenza.
And results of a new survey by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases are likely to have public health officials cheering.
UPI reports that of the 1,000 people surveyed, 60% of people in the United States plan to be vaccinated against the flu this winter.
Nearly half said they were concerned about the potential effects of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 on the seasonal bug.
However, 25% said that if flu vaccines were offered in alternative settings -- like drive-thru clinics -- they would be more likely to be vaccinated.
