Health Managers Report Flu Shots Down

Public health managers in Eau Claire say most of the people in the county continue to skip the flu shot. The city/county health department yesterday said just 28 percent of people have gotten the flu vaccine so far this year.

That’s down from last year’s mark, which was 34 percent. The health department’s Kristy Polden says people might just be putting off getting the shot. She says some people wait til the flu season is in full effect. Flu season starts in the fall, and usually peaks in the winter months when more people are inside.
