My mom, 94, has gotten a flu shot every year since they have had it. She has seldom if ever been sick and she was a high school nurse until she retired. There is a compounding effect over the years, same for my dad. so for those of you who might be skeptical, there are some longer term benefits, but not the goal so not studied nor advertised. I get flu shots every year as well, and the only shots I had reactions to were the ones I had before going overseas during my military school years.
