Are you getting the flu shot?
tokenadult: I had the actual flu once, at an inopportune time in my higher education studies, and that convinced me that I want to get the vaccine from now on. I have a family member who has previously suffered severe pneumonia, and in recent years had another family member (now deceased) who was paralyzed, so I have taken special care to make sure that all my family members get vaccinated against diseases that may lead to pneumonia, as flu often does. No one in my family has any history of bad reactions to vaccines, so it's all benefit and no detectable risk for us to be vaccinated.
