make people want a flu shot.

You would think. I can tell you first hand tho that even having that stat won't make people "want" a flu shot. You can't believe the number of hospital employees (who supposedly know better) who rejected the vaccination for the same erroneous reasons as the general public and who finally had to be threatened with loss of their jobs if they didn't get vaccinated. Up until 2-3 years ago- it was strictly voluntary whether or not a hospital employee chose to be vaccinated. It wasn't until the CDC stepped in and made it a mandatory requirement that CEOs finally enforced it.

I, too, get the annual flu vaccination as well as having been vaccinated for pneumonia (Pneumovax 23).
