There was study recently that showed older people has less frequency of death if they didn't get the flu shot. Part of the reason was they had had all the flu shots and retained immunity for the various strains.

I would imagine also keeping yourself away from masses of people in medical treatment areas lessens your chances of catching something at the pharmacy or doctors office.

Anyway. I skipped the flu shot for the first to e 3 years ago and will this year too.

I keep hand sanitizer in my car door and immediately use it after being in any public place and returning to the car.

Also if you don't touch your face with your hands its almost impossible to get the flu or a cold because you transmit it from a surface to your hands and then to your face to have it infect you through your nose or eyes.

Don't touch your damn face.
