I suppose I simply never considered that I was at high risk of getting the flu or how my behavior may inadvertently fuel how flu might spread through my local community.It seems I am not alone in my assessment, with only 34.2% of adults aged 18-49 in the United States getting a flu shot in the past 12 months.
