More U.S. adults reported receiving or planning to receive an influenza vaccination during the 2020-21 flu season than ever before, according to findings from a December 2020 national survey. 
The survey of 1,027 adults, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that 43.5% of respondents reported having already received a flu vaccination with an additional 13.5% saying they “definitely will get one” and 9.3% stating they “probably will get one.” Combined, 66.3% have received or intend to receive an influenza vaccination.
By comparison, 48.4% of adults 18 and older received the vaccine during the 2019-20 flu season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an increase of 3.1 percentage points from 2018-19.
