Can the Flu Shot Really Save Your Life?
Those who are not vaccinated and later get the flu can infect up to 5% of others - and maybe at risks such as adults, infants, or people with weakened immune systems (such as pharmacists). This can prevent their bodies from getting an adequate response to the vaccine, which means they do not get all the flu prevention benefits. However, even if a person gets the flu, vaccination reduces the risk of serious symptoms. The CDC says children under the age of five, especially those under two years of age, are at greater risk of contracting the flu.

It’s a particular problem for older Americans, 70% of whom do not have any form of dental health coverage.
