The health and cost benefits of an annual flu shot for healthy, working adults have been demonstrated by a Minnesota-based research company, published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Here's what researchers found for healthy workers who got a flu shot:
- 25% less upper respiratory illness (URI)
- 43% fewer sick days due to URI
- 44% fewer doctor visits for URI
- estimated cost savings of $47 per person
