I have been getting flu shots for last 10 years, since the shots only includes protection from the most common flu strains for that year it does not guarantee total protection but considering the fact flu is a major killer of the young and old I get one every year, in fact I am getting this years today.
"Flu can directly lead to death when the virus triggers severe inflammation in the lungs. When this happens, it can cause rapid respiratory failure because your lungs can't transport enough oxygen into the rest of your body. The flu can also cause your brain, heart, or muscles to become inflamed."
"Influenza killed about 80,000 people in US in the 2017-2018 season, according to figures released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The previous high for a regular flu season, based on analyses dating back more than three decades, was 56,000 deaths.Sep 27, 2018
I live in Florida, due to having tourists from all over the world the potential for flu is much higher. I want gamble with my health at this stage of my life.

Well that went from "can't wait!" to "ya gotta be 
me right now."
me right now."I have a cemetery with 40 headstones. Out of those (of the headstones that are readable) here are the younger ones. Note: the first two have different last names, all the rest are from the same family name.
Eliza, died 11-1873, aged 2 yr. 6 m 29d.
Matilda, died 11-26-1873, aged 17y 6m 1d
Salomie, died 2-8-1872, aged 12 y 10 m 6d
Clara, died 4-25-1872, aged 4y 6m 4d
Joshua died 5-9-1873, aged 3y 7m 22d
Benson, died 1-29-1870, aged 10m 12d
Jerome, died 7-19-1863, aged 2y 5m 17d
Alice, died 12-6-1872, aged 1y 2m 25d
Sarah, died 10-12-1867. aged 3m 2d
Mary, died 12-7-1863, aged 1y 4m 4d
Alexander, died 9-14-1866, aged 1y 4m 11d
What does that say to you?
Now, I don't have death certificates for proof, but it tells me these shots and vaccines were invented for a good reason. Just sayin'.

rook etal,
I've yet to have a flu shot.....the thing is it's our immune system's job to fight against these bad guys. If we keep whimping it with shots and vaccines it'll get lazy and stop doing it's job.

Not going to argue that fact bill. I'm making what I think is the best decision for me. Like I said, everyone has their own opinion. I take care of myself, workout etc. but at my age you never know who'll you'll come in contact with that has the flu. I realize the shot is not a sure thing but it's been shown that if I contact the virus it won't be as bad as if I hadn't gotten vaccinated. I've had the flu. I know how bad it can be. I hope no one here gets it but if you do, good luck.

Well, I ain't going to Perryville tomorrow. My parents decided that looking for GOAT trailers would be a better idea. Of all the dumbness...they were swindled when they bought those fleabags anyway.
They rescheduled Perryville to Thursday, so I hope they hold there word on this one.
In other news, my check that I sent for my artillery shell never reached the dealer. This is just wonderful.
I do have some good news. It will be a long process, but negotiations for an Equinox will start tonight.

And where would we be if we weren't given Small pox or polio shots.
Some of the worst flu outbreaks on American history.
First flu I. Link below is 1918 Spsnish Flu, killed 50 million world wide and 675,000 in America, where were their natural immunities then since there was no flu shots available then.
