I get a flu shot any year I'm planning on doing any kind of work in or around a school.
Schools are breeding grounds for influenza and other illness, and the one time I've gotten the flu has convinced me to get the shot. The people you should be asking if they get shots are teachers. No one spends more time around sick people, seriously. You would be surprised at how sick some kids are when they come to school, and how some parents are fully aware of the fact their kids are sick.
I take a lot of preventative measures besides the flu shot, but for other things, since there is no immunization for the common cold. I am especially prone to sinus infections and strep throat, so I take a daily multivitamin, stay hydrated, and practice frequent handwashing.
