I don't get it. Sure, nothing is perfect, so people will fall through the cracks, but less than 20%? For a vaccination that costs nothing more than taking the time to find and utilize a place that offers it? That's just madness.

MODERATORS
Flu vaccines have been around my entire life and I've never known anyone who has gotten one. What is the typical rate, because that seems high from what I've experienced.
Good question. I have no idea. Between a couple of places I've worked that actually brought in someone to vaccinate everyone who wanted it and the few people I know, I would have guessed at least 70%.
I guess this is why we can't use personal experience is to judge things.
My workplace used to do that, but ironically stopped during COVID.
In the 2022-2023 flu season, 43% of adults aged 18 years and older received the influenza vaccine. The overall coverage was significantly higher in females (47%) than in males (39%, p<0.001). Only 43% of the adults aged 18-64 years with CMC [chronic medical condition] received a flu vaccine, falling significantly short of the national influenza vaccination coverage goal for those at high risk of influenza-related complications or hospitalization (80%). The coverage among seniors aged 65 years and older were much higher (74%), which brings them closer to the target coverage goal. The vaccination rate was lowest among adults 18-64 years of age without any CMC (31%).
