Only half of Americans plan to get Covid or flu vaccinations this year – study

Study also found that 37% who have gotten vaccines in the past do not plan on getting them this year

Less than half of Americans plan to get their Covid-19 vaccine this year, according to a new survey, and slightly more than half plan to get a flu shot.

In a new report released on Thursday, the Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center found that 37% of Americans have gotten vaccines in the past but do not plan to this year. The same percentage of respondents said they do not need any of the vaccines surveyed in the poll, including those against the flu, Covid-19, pneumococcal and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the report stated.
