Anecdata alert!!
I've been getting the flu shot every year for almost 10 years. I've been exposed to a lot of people with the flu. I haven't had the flu yet. They make a best educated guess at which strains will be most active in a given flu season. There are usually three strains the vaccine will protect against. Sometimes, though, they don't guess correctly or there may be a different strain that's more prevelant in one area.
Having said that, I don't get too up in arms about people not vaccinating for the flu. Other diseases like polio, rubella, mumps, measles, etc.? Yes, vaccinate or go to some isolated island somewhere.
