URBANA -- Doctors say it's not just the young and elderly who should get the flu shot. Young adults often skip it. Health experts say it's just as important for them to be protected.

Dr. William Scott is on the Flu Board for Carle. He says young people need to get the shot for their own protection and to prevent spreading the virus. We're only halfway through flu season, so there's still time to get vaccinated.
