Agree on getting vaccinated! Agree on individual variation. Don't agree on justifying the lack of clarity in the article. Clarity from sources and accuracy in reporting will help to overcome doubts about getting vaccinated. The more we know, the better informed we are and the more likely we are to act reasonably. BTW, the article says PeaceHealth doesn't collect vaccination data on people who show up with flu-like symptoms. It doesn't say anything  about the people who are actually diagnosed with influenza. People who want regional and national data can always go to the CDC site. But, again, more clarity and accuracy overall, even in local news sources,  creates less confusion, people with fewer doubts, people who are more well-informed, people more likiely to get vaccinated

Again: get vaccinated! You could save someone's life by not passing the flu along.
