Are you getting one this year?
I get one every year even though it may only be semi effective, since strains of flu morph and the shot one gets may or may not be effective against the one going around at the time.
I've had several very severe flu events in the past, fortunately none serious enough for hospitalization. But some were at that point when I was a much younger man, and I credit my youth and natural resistance with preventing that eventuality.
These days, it would conspire to put me in a much more vulnerable situation. So, I get one every year. And haven't had the flu for ~18 years.
I don't necessarily credit the vaccine with this, but even if it protects me 10% I'll continue to get it. Just had mine today.
And you?
Cheers,
RR
