Statistics will show some percentage that do not get the shot experience nothing.
They would also show some percentage that get the shot still get the flu.

However the majority of us can claim we do not or did not get the flu because we did get our shot.
We get our shot every year as soon as available in early September. Typically no reaction. Maybe a little muscle soreness where they " bury" the needle that evening.
I always make sure I get a flu shot.
My husband is not a "believer" and very healthy.
However I make him get a flu shot also; so he won't be a carrier pigeon.
