Do you get Flu shots?

It's about that time of year, isn't it?

I used to get flu shots every year, they tend to be free at the places I've worked at. Everyone once in a while I'd still get a flu, but of course you can't prevent every single strain out there.

But for the past couple of years I haven't, mostly because of the vaccination shortages. Now I'm kinda out of the habit. Plus, since I've started taking 1k mg of Vit. C every day, my sick time has been cut by at least 2/3. Maybe more. So I'm not as motivated.

But there are always folks out there who swear up and down that they get the flu from the shots. I don't think that's possible, but I've seen usually healthy co-workers fall ill after getting a flu shot.

What are your thoughts on the matter?
