I get colds (coughing, sore throat, achey) alot... like 4-6 times each year. If I'm around my parents and cough a couple times, they'll always say "Why don't you go get a flu shot?" I would always tell them I have a cold, not a flu (by my definition anyways).
Well, one year I got a flu shot. I was sick more often that year than any year I could remember. That was 3 years ago, and I haven't had a flu shot since. However, I don't get sick as often anymor either... maybe twice/year I get a cold. Coincidence? Probably... but there you have it.
