...the latest vaccine is only about 10% effective and the nurse at the VA told me to NOT let them talk me into getting one.

Respectfully, my good FRiend, I do not agree.

If the shot were 10% effective, might that mean that it could, at the least, reduce infectivity some, reduce the severity some, reduce the duration of infection, reduce the mortality and infection-related-effects some?

Worst case, if you get the shot, you just might survive a miserable experience.

Get the shot, my good FRiend.

My brother-in-law, age 62, died from the flu last year with 48 hours of symptoms. He didn't get a flu shot.

Not. I’m already taking a med that lowers my immune system so I’ll pass. Thanks for the concern though.
