As far as I know there is no vaccine to protect you from AIDS or HIV. Flu shots have been proven to protect people from the different influenza viruses just like the safety equipment required in certain professions has been effective in reducing on the job injuries or death. You have made the ridiculous comparison.
When I did my first tour of duty in South Korea I was required to have a Yellow Fever, Cholera, Tetanus, and Plague booster shots before deployment. Just a couple months in country there was a Cholera outbreak among the Koreans in my area that killed a lot of people. On my compound there were many Korean civilian workers in the dining facilities, motor maintenance facilities, grounds keeping and building repair. Were we not vaccinated for these diseases Cholera could have been introduced by these workers and caused deaths in the military units stationed there. I was quite happy to have had the vaccine for it. If you were working in a hospital in this area in Korea would you not think it was necessary for you to be vaccinated for Cholera to prevent possible infection onto one of your patients?
