Factors causing low COVID-19 vaccination have spilled over to lower flu vaccination rates

A new study from UCLA researchers indicates a previously undocumented impact of widespread COVID-19 vaccine promotion on other public health behaviors. Adult flu vaccination rates have declined in states with low rates of COVID-19 vaccination, which the authors say may be a harbinger of declining trust in public health, suggesting that COVID-19 vaccination behavior has spilled over to flu vaccination behavior. The finding is published in The New England Journal of Medicine as a letter to the editor.
