Very long but it does give CDC statistics. Shingles vaccination rates are the lowest of all, and that one is for older adults. There are many adults who vaccinate their children, but not themselves. Would you include adults who don't get their flu shots every year in the category of anti-vaxxers? That would be half the country then.
