Americans and Flu Shots – What Do They Really Think?

Looks like there may be hope.  This latest poll reports that the majority of Americans will not get the Swine flu shot.  For the other 1/3rd that think its a good idea, let’s see how the media handles side effects that occur (and they will occur).

Poll: Americans iffy on pandemic flu shot
Americans are uncertain about getting the pandemic H1N1 vaccine, according to a poll conducted in early September by the
ConsumerReports Health Ratings CenterOnly 34% said they would definitely get the vaccine when it’s available, while 21% said they would decline. Forty-three percent said they will wait and see what happens with flu developments. The nation survey of 1,502 adults found that 35% will have their children vaccinated, 50% are unsure, and 14% will not.     [Consumer Reports poll results]
