Are you getting the flu shot?
Travis: There is no reason to not get the shot.  I work in public health, with a lot of really smart folks who are both educated and well meaning.  Don't trust me -- there is no science of a convincing magnitude that says flu shots are bad.  The only ones out there say things like "there might be an association between x and the flu shot".  Those studies are either epi studies (which can show correlation, but not causation in this situation) or lab slide studies, without any proven real world whole entity issues.Plus, the injectable flu shot is dead, so it doesn't increase the chances of getting the flu.  I firmly believe the nasal spray is fine as well (it's an attenuated virus, rather than just virus "corpses"), although I would get the injected (dead) vaccine if I had young kids or other severely immuno-compromised folks.Long story short, get your flu shot.
