the answer to your question is "risk reduction."

1. You'll be immune to certain strains of the virus (varies yearly).
2. You'll be at lower risk of infection by other strains of the virus (varies yearly).
3. You'll be at lower risk of severe infection by strains that #1 and #2 don't cover.

That is why you would get a flu shot.
Thank you.
I wasn't sure if my response was sarcastic or witty enough, thanks for confirming it
