Parents Reportedly Don't Take the Flu Seriously Enough—and it Could Be Hurting Their Children
别把流感不当回事儿
Over the last decade, an average of 140,000 to 810,000 people have been hospitalized annually due to complications from the flu—and a whopping 12,000 to 61,000 people per year lost their lives to the infectious disease. And yet, despite those staggering statistics, people of all ages are still not taking the flu seriously enough—and it's putting their health (and the health of their families) at risk.
过去十年,流感并发症平均每年导致14万至81万人住院,更甚者,每年约1.2万至6.1万人因传染病离世。尽管这一数据令人震惊,但不把流感当回事儿的大有人在——从而危及自身和家人的健康。
That information comes from a new national survey conducted by the American Academy of Family Physicians. The survey, published Thursday (right smack-dab in the middle of flu season) polled 1,000 nationally-representative US adults ages 25-73 to determine the impact flu myths and misconceptions have on vaccination rates.
这一消息来源于美国家庭医师学会新开展的一项全国调查。该调查于周四发布(正处于流感季),受试对象是1000名25至73岁的具有典型美国特征的成年人,以确定流感误区和流感误解对流感疫苗接种率的影响。
According to the survey, parents often fall victim to these flu myths, which can then affect how they prioritize vaccinations. A huge number of parents—nearly 3 out of 5, or 59%—said that their child has missed a flu shot at least once, due to misinformation or a misunderstanding (21% said they didn't want their child to get sick, 13% said their child doesn't need the flu shot, and 10% said they don't think the flu is that serious).
