Flu vaccine is very different than measles or chicken pox or smallpox or polio etc...

Try not to be ignorant. It’s not a conservative virtue.

I say this agreeing that the yearly flu vaccines may not help. I never take them and not get the flu

There a4e multiple strains of the flu each year and the timeframe from exposure to infection doesn’t work well with innoculation effectiveness.

It’s a really poor example to compare a mildly effective flu vaccine to a wildly effective vaccine like mmr.

This year's vaccine was an excellent match to the circulating strains. It was over 60% effective as a result.

I've never had the flu (that I know of), and I receive the vaccine every year. Because of my job, I don't have a choice about getting vaccinated, so I stand in line with everyone else on the day they set up a vaccine clinic at work.
