PROVIDENCE, R.I., Oct. 5 (UPI) -- The proportion of U.S. nursing home patients who get a shot remains lower than the national public health goal of 90 percent, researchers found.
A research team led by Brown University community health investigator Shubing Cai looked at hundreds of thousands of patient records from more than 14,000 nursing homes for the 2006/2007 and 2008-2009 flu seasons.
