Yes, I get sick, too. My wife never does.
Flu shots cannot give you the flu, but the new nasal vaccination, Flu Mist (or something like that) does. You inhale live (but weakened) flu virus through your nose. It's more expensive, but you don't get the needle. And 'cause it's live flu virus, they won't give it to anyone over the age of 49, which is sorta the danger zone for flu -- and I'm just about there.
At least you got your shot. The news says the vaccine makers are out of stock for this year and can't make more for months. The only doses left are what's still in the pipeline. Really heavy demand this year, because of news stories about an early and serious flu season.
