Havent got one in decades. This year, I got one even though I've not been sick in 3+ years.

I believe the estimate is around 50% of flu cases are spread by those who are asymptomatic, so getting a shot every year still helps to some extent with preventing the spread, even if you don't get symptoms.

I've heard this before and as much as I hate being 'that guy' - The only time I got one - I ended up with the Flu.

That could be, but it clearly wasn't from the shot.

Had the same experience awhile ago. Got the flu shot, got sick. I know it wasn't FROM the shot - just terrible timing. |

The flu shot is only about 40% effective. You can't get the flu from the shot itself but it's entirely possible to get the shot and still get the flu.

All of this is correct. It's amazing that people can't/don't/won't comprehend this.

40% effective= useless waste of time. Almost 50/50
Also doesn't prove you didn't get it because you got the shot. It's a facade. Sham. |

The internet is chocked full of bad interpretations of data.
The flu shot reduces your chances of contracting by 40%. Said differently, you’re 40% less likely to get the flu. So, not perfect but it does help. You choice as to whether that reduction is worth it to you. |
