  • In 2011, about 39.1 percent of adults in the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population reported receiving a flu shot in the past year.
  • Individuals age 50 and older were about twice as likely to receive a flu shot as younger adults in 2011.
  • In 2011, over half of individuals with one or more of selected chronic conditions (see Definitions) received a flu shot compared to about one-third of persons with none of those conditions.
  • The proportion with a flu shot was higher in 2011 than 2001 regardless of age or chronic condition status.
  • In 2011, adults ages 18-64 without health insurance coverage were much less likely to have received a flu shot than non-elderly adults with private or public insurance coverage.
