I'm not sure if I'll get one or not. I rarely get the flu, but I did last year. I didn't get the shot last year, but my wife did. I got my flu from her. She got it from her sister-in-law who came home from Ireland already sick, so it was probably a strain of the flu they were not expecting here and the shot did not cover it. Nasty stuff, too. Had ne down for over a week.
If you get one this year, get the quadrivalent version
