Coming up on 67 years old and have never had a flu shot. Other than colds, I’ve probably only had the real flu just a few times. Every year I think about getting one. Maybe this year.

I’m glad you said it that way. I have lots of family and friends that say they got the flu, when what they really got was a cold. They aren’t the same thing.
When I worked as a retail as a cashier, I used to get the shot because I handled so much money, and was around a lot of people. I don’t have that job anymore, and I’m not around as many people now as I used to be.
I don’t like to get the flu shot because it’s a cocktail of who knows what. For me, I’m not sure the benefits outweigh the risks. I’m in very good health.
So for right now, I’m staying put. No vaccine unless I hear something that changes that benefit/risk ratio.
