Every year there are thousands of flu related deaths. Never remember reading about anyone who was vaccinated dying from the flu. Those odds seem pretty good to me. At my age I get the high dose. Actually, I have heard of a few people dying who had a flu shot. The excuse they always use is, it was a different strain. Last year in our state they were saying there were several flu strains out there and that the flu shots weren't going to be effective on all of them.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

I get a flu shot every year. I have also had both types of shingle shots and both types of pneumonia shots. I have gotten all the vaccines and shots that they give kids----mumps, measles--all that stuff. I should get a tetanus booster as I haven't had one in quite a few years. I have not had the rabies shots.
Have any of you guys that don't get the flu shot gotten the rabies shots, as a preventative? I have gotten the rabies shot not cause of trapping but because i was required to while going through vet school. Also a vaccine that doesnt have any real data to say yes this level of titer keeps you safe. I personally along with many classmates never built a immune response to It either. It does make me feel better however. If known exposure we still have to get the post exposure Immune globulin plus or minus additional vaccines. So might save you some shots might not. I dont get the flu shot. Flu shots are not that effective if they were we would be giving them to pigs and poultry by the millions of doses. That said i still use vaccines and think many of them are very effective and necessary. As far as getting sick from the flu after flu shot as some have said. Its not necesarily the flu its your body working to build an immune response. My opinion however is still if you develop that kind of response your still at risk for getting sick from secondary illness which can be serious.
