More American adults say they have received the updated influenza vaccine than the updated COVVI-19 shooting (42% opposite to 27%) since the two vaccines in the United States must have last summer, according to a new PEW Research Center survey. This is similar to the adoption degrees measured for the versions of those vaccines last year.
The existing flu season has seen a higher number of hospitalizations and deaths due to the disease. At the same time, Covid-19 continues to take a serious fitness check on confident Americans, to a much lesser degree than in recent years.
The centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) presented obtaining the influenza vaccine and the COVVI-19 a day to date to protect themselves from serious ailments opposed to any of the diseases. They go up that these vaccines are vital for maximum threat of grave and covid-19 headaches, as adults over 65 and over.
Pew Research Center conducted this investigation to the percentage of Americans who say they have received the flu vaccine and the updated COVID-19 vaccine. We survey to 5,123 American adults from February 24 to March 2, 2025.
All those who participated in the survey are members of the American Trends panel (ATP) of the center, an organization of other people recruited through the national and random sampling of the residential addresses that agreed to carry out surveys regularly. This type of recruitment provides almost all American adults with the possibility of selection. The interviews were conducted online or by phone with a live interviewer. The survey is weighted to be representative of the population of American adults through sex, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, schooling and other categories.

Here are the questions used for this analysis, the upper line and the survey method.
Slightly more than the U. S. adult component (53%) say they have received neither the flu vaccine nor the CoVVI-19 vaccine to date since last August. By comparison, a much smaller component (22%) say they have received both of those vaccines.
Only one in five reports to obtain a flu vaccine, but not the updated COVID-19 shot. And a very small report on the opposite behavior: only 5% of Americans say they have received the COVVI-19 COVID-19 vaccine to date, but not the flu vaccine.
The Democrats and the cars used to the Democratic Party are more likely that the Republicans and Republicans scarce by saying that they received the flu vaccine (53% opposite to 32%). Democrats are also more likely than Republicans to inform about the updated COVVI-199 vaccine (42% opposite to 12%).
Age also counts when it comes to obtaining those photos. In any of the parties, adults over 65 and more are more likely than their most youthful opposite numbers to be taken out. However, in all age groups, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to inform the vaccine.
The hole between the Democrats and the Republicans is widely wide by contemplating the absorption of the COVVI-19 vaccine among the Americans of 65 years or more, an organization of a disease of greater threat of serious diseases. Among the 65-year-old Americans and more, 69% of the Democrats say they have received the UPSCUT UPCED UPCED UPCED vaccine from COVVI-19, compared to only 23% of Republicans. This hole of 46 percentage problems is comparable to what we observe last year, but much larger than that of the first vaccines in the Coronavirus in 2021.
There is also a partisan hole among those over 65 when it comes to the absorption of the flu, it is not so wide. Most Republicans in this age organization (56%) say they have received a flu vaccine; An even higher percentage of the elderly of the Democrats 65 years or more says the same (78%).
Covid-19 vaccine uptake since 2021
The percentage of Americans who say they have won the updated Covid-19 vaccine has not changed from a year ago (27% today vs. 28% then). These degrees are much lower than the absorption of vaccines on other occasions during the pandemic.
For example, 69% of American adults said they were completely vaccinated in August 2021, months after the first tour of COVVI-19 vaccines, which have become widely for Americans.
While the most recent versions of COVVI-19 vaccines have been available, a drop in the fall in Americans has selected to download recent plans. Americans have also become less maximum, probably for COVVI-19 as a primary threat of physical aptitude, and grades of hospitalizations and deaths caused through the disease have decreased.
