I have reactions even to the preservative free, and even though I am exposed to over a hundred people a week, I have never had any strain of flu.
The CDC recommended shots later this year than last year. Usually August is the start of the vaccine season but they said to wait til at least mid-September. The vaccine protects for a certain number of months, and the season ended before that, if you got the shot in August. So you'd be vulnerable near the end of your dose if you got it too early.
