The current number might be lowest in 10 years but it is comparable to 11, 12 and 13 years ago where is was also around or under 23%. Was it also political back then? |
This is a bit of speculation, but I'd suggest that the vaccination numbers might have been lower in 2010 and 2011 because they were so high in 2009. That was the year of the H1N1 pandemic, when regular clinics were overwhelmed, and special clinics were set up in locations like the Stampede Grandstand. Without the headlines from that, people probably didn't feel as motivated to get vaccinated.
