Sept. 21, 2011 -- Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults plan to be vaccinated against the flu this season, while seven in 10 parents say they're likely to get their children immunized, according to new survey data.

"The last several years we're seeing an upward trend in influenza vaccination rates," said Vanderbilt University infectious disease specialist William Schaffner, MD, at a news conference on Wednesday.

"Influenza vaccine remains the best prevention for the seasonal viral disease," he said. Schaffner is president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
