Everyone should be getting this vaccine. It might have been mentioned a dozen times already, but its worth restating. I know you're "strong and the flu wont kill me, so why get it", but its not about you, its about everyone as a whole.
You might not get very bad symptoms and survive a-ok 100%, but then you might just give it to your old grandmother, or someone at work who has a young child, or someone much more vulnerable to complications or worse. If you don't get it, you run a much lower risk of passing it on.
Sure the vaccine covers limited strains and might not prevent sickness in all cases, but if we can stop it jumping to one or two dozen people that might not fare so well, isn't it worth it?
