I haven't had the flu in like.. a long time, the last time i had it i skipped the vaccine. I am curious how often people get sick when they never had any vaccines.. also, these anti-vaccine people.. were they vaccinated against basic stuff? if not, being SA you better live in a bubble..
As it has been stated, vaccines are very much hit-and-miss when it comes to the flu. The more prevalent strains are included in the vaccine, but you can get another strain that is not included.
I personally don't ever have flu vaccines, I believe my age group doesn't really require them. But I do believe they are effective most of the time, as well.
If you don't get your vaccines as children you could end up physically disabled or even dead. These conspiracy theories against vaccines are the reason many diseases have yet to be eradicated. As long as there are people refusing to be vaccinated there will be the need to vaccinate everyone else.
Anyone who is against vaccines (especially the more major viruses and illnesses - as I said only certain people need to have flu shots) is selfish and a danger to society.
