I'll be getting one in the next week or two. Wife and I have a one month old and the doctor highly recommended it. I've gotten one each year for the last several years regardless.

I'll echo a few other posters. It's funny how so many TBHer's think they know more than medical doctors yet they probably had a hard time passing high school biology. I'll continue to seek medical advice from MD's, just like I seek legal advice from attorneys, tax advice from CPAs and so on.

I take advice from my doctor too but I also do not just go blindly by what someone who gets paid to sell shots says I should do. I tend to make decisions based on experience. I took the flu vaccine for the first time in 1996 when my employer offered it for free. Got the flu that year. First time I ever remember having it. I will admit I may have had it when I was a child but I don't remember it if I did. I didn't take the vaccine again until 2013 and only had the flu once without it. In 2013 I let my doctor (medical expert) convince me I should take it so I did. I had the flu twice that season and the second round was horrible. I haven't taken the vaccine since and haven't had the flu since. My track record is better without the shot.
I wash my hands a lot during flu season (and really all year long to keep the habit alive) and I disinfect and clean my shared work station at work before I sit down to start my shift everyday and I keep my face out of other peoples faces. Pretty much same thing I do for Covid.
Immunizations are a totally different animal. I take those as they have a proven track record.

Yep, get them through my company for free every year.
As long as I’ve been getting the shot I’ve only gotten the flu once and it was so mild it was no worse than a cold.
The one year we couldn’t get the shot due to a shortage I got the flu and it knocked me down for seven days. Absolute misery.
I believe they help prevent catching the flu and if you encounter a strain that the shot doesn’t cover it helps reduce the symptoms.

This was the exact opposite of my personal experience. That's why I say "to each his own" and everyone should make their own choice based off their own personal experience and not what someone else says you should or shouldn't do.
Take advice and research the advice.
Make a choice.
Evaluate the results.
Choose again based off those results.

I was a never get the shot / never had the flu guy until last year. 3 years ago I got the flu twice. Once year after. All were horrible. Got the shot last year and didn’t get the flu. Did it help? Who knows. I will take the 50% chance the vaccine helps. I’m not the smartest man in the world but that’s better odds than 0%.

Not getting the shot probably has a 50% chance of not getting the flu too tho. I'm not the smartest man in the world either tho so who knows. I guess we'll have to wait til he responds for the correct answer[emoji6]
