My wife got the flu shot. This year. Then she got the flu. Took three weeks to knock it back. Spoilt Christmas and New Year’s.

I didn’t get the flu shot this year. I lived in the same house with my flu-soaked wife for the duration. I didn’t get the flu.

Maybe I’m lucky.

I’m one of those who cannot have the flu vaccine because of an egg allergy. Fortunately, although I tend to get the upper respiratory tract infections most years, the proper flu is rare. The last time was 1995 in August - late winter in South Africa.
