flu shots

Flu is the prototype of a respiratory disease that requires repeated – yearly - vaccination to prevent infection.

It was an online survey of about 5130 physicians conducted in the last few months. Roughly 2/3rd male, and roughly a third 65 or older, a third between 50 and 65, and the remaining third younger than 50.

We had a really bad flu season this year. The CDC just announced that about 80,000 Americans were killed.
