I’ve also skipped it, because it does have risks, and I don’t feel that the risks are worth it, especially given that you can’t really know if the vaccine will protect from the flu that is actually around.
Last year I had the flu for the first time I know of, and while it was a pain, I survived, and do not intend to get a flu shot this year either.
I’ve always wondered if having it so many times a a kid has somehow made my imune system more resistant to flu viruses as an adult. I like to think it has anyway....knock on wood.
Having said all that I’ll probably get it tomorrow. lol
