Fewer Canadians Roll Up Sleeve for Flu Shot (Source: CBC News)
From the article:
A Decima Reseach poll shows that two out of three Canadians didn’t get their flu shot this year.
The poll of 1,015 Canadians suggests that despite repeated media advertisements extolling the benefits of the flu shot, 28 per cent don’t believe it’s worthwhile.
The low number disturbs Dr. Mary Vearncombe, medical director of infectious diseases at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital. She’d like to see 70 per cent of the general population get the flu shot.
