The vaccine that you refuse to take is 100% guaranteed NOT to work for you. You will have [zero] prevention for this year's flu. And if by chance you happen to get it, you have [zero] chance to reduce the effects of it.
If you do take the vaccine, you have [better than zero] chance that it'll prevent you from getting sick, and if you happen to get sick anyway, you'll have [better than zero] chance that your symptoms will be minimal.
The odds are more in my favor by taking the vaccine, than not taking it. I prefer to hedge my bets. So I'll take the vaccine and hope I don't need it.
