Fewer U.S. health care workers are keeping up to date on their COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, according to two separate reports this week from the CDC. Two doctors gave input.
They found that flu vaccine coverage was 81% among health care employees at hospitals and 47.1% at nursing homes. "Non-compliance is due largely to fear and politicization of misunderstanding of vaccines." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
In terms of COVID vaccine coverage for medical workers, it was at just 7.2% at hospitals and 22.8% at nursing homes.
