Sacramento County’s Rate of Flu Shots Slower Than in 2011

The pace of influenza immunizations in Sacramento County is slower than in 2011, according to experts. The slowed pace likely is the result of mild October weather and fading concern stemming from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. Experts say that immunizations in the area are reflective of national trends and likely will peak around the end of the month.
