Poll: Do you plan to get a flu shot?
Doctors are urging patients to be vaccinated as another flu season looms, rolling up their sleeves to get the shots themselves and encouraging others in health care to do the same.
"I always lead by example," said Dr. Aaron Glatt, president and chief executive of St. Joseph Hospital in Bethpage, who plans to be vaccinated this week.
Flu season begins in October and runs through spring, with viral activity peaking in January.
