re: First year my family doesn't get the flu vaccine

not to be a dick but look at some of the things in that link that are intended to lead you to believe the flu is dangerous for 18 year olds.

First of all, they gave %'s, not a single number was given anywhere.

quote:

---

age 18-64 represented 61 percent of all hospitalizations from influenza—up from the previous three seasons when this age group represented only about 35 percent of all such hospitalizations

---

Secondly, don't group 18 year olds with 64 year olds.
They make that seem like young people were in the hospital more.

ALl they gave was hospitalization %'s and grouped 18 year olds with 64 year olds. You ever been to the ER b/c you had an actual emergency? How many dumbasses are in there b/c they have cough and no insurance and don't want to go to work, if they have a job?

That's not data i give a shite about.

I want data specifically on these age groups.
