No, instead they should start supplementing with vitamin D.

I have mine in the middle of September annually but people can do whatever they like , I don't give out recommendations

If you're prone to getting flu and colds during the season, then yes. Having the vaccine won't guarantee that will not get sick from it. I've had a flu show during the start of the year and had a flu a few days after.

I catch a cold once every two years, which only lasts about a day. So no, someone more needy can have my vaccination as I don’t need it.

As wipeout said, the vaccination will not provide perfect protection, but even if you get it, the symptoms will usually be much milder. It happened to me and my family two years ago.
If you plan to get the flu shot this year, you better hurry, this year the vaccine is extremely popular and many places ran out of vaccines.

If they're in a high-risk group, yes. My parents and my wife's parents, in their 70s and 80s, get it every year. But we woN't until we get older or develop some other ailment comes along that affects out immune system.

No, I would have said until last year when I was kind of railroaded into getting one.
It seemed easier to say yes this year, especially as it was free. If these last around three months, then that carries me into early February or thereabouts.

Yes. Agree with wipeout. Don’t underestimate the heard immunity effect in reducing the probability of catching the disease.

Not for me. I’m healthy and I work out three times a week. I only catch a cold once every TWO YEARS at most. So no, I don’t need it. I’ll give it up for people who actually need it.

What an amazingly prosperous world we live in where people who don't know the difference between a cold and the flu can have enough money for a phone and internet connection.

Funny question to ask, try booking a appointment to get a vaccine from now good luck with that.
