In the US, yes. In Europe, if you get sick, you stay home until you're well, and you get paid while you do it. As a result, severity and transmission of illnesses like flu are both much lower. It is not worth vaccinating healthy adults against flu here. They recover with rest and chicken soup.
Full disclosure: On reflection, I can't subtantiate the above and it may be motivated reasoning by me. I'm now trying to figure out truth because the last thing we all need is more vaccine misinformation. I'll be back with sources if I discover actual facts, not just logical sounding theories.
