Most Asthma Patients Skip Flu Vaccine

Most people with asthma don’t get flu shots, a U.S. government survey has found. Health officials advise flu vaccination for everyone with asthma. But in the 2005-06 flu season, only 36.2% of people with asthma got vaccinated. HealthDay News wrote about the survey June 20. It appeared in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
