(Before It's News)

More Americans plan on getting a flu shot this year, perhaps because more feel it’s effective in preventing flu outbreaks.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 53% of American Adults say they intend to get a flu shot this year, while 40% do not. Seven percent (7%) haven’t decided yet. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
