CHICAGO – More than half of all Americans have yet to get a flu shot, according to a new study. A survey from the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago shows that more than half of all Americans are yet to get the flu shot with few intending to do so. According to the research institution in Chicago, as of mid-November, 43 percent of adults reported that they had gotten a flu vaccination. Another 14 percent had not yet been vaccinated but intended to get a vaccination this season. However, 41 percent of adults report they have not been vaccinated and do not intend to do so. The Illinois Department of Public Health says there is still time to get the flu shot. Flu activity is usually highest between December and February, although the department says activity can last as late as May.
