There's lots of negative mis-information going around about the flu shots ... it's enough to make a grown man puke. They range from 'old-wives-tales' to down-right 'lies'.
Before you decide not to get a flu shot (the choice is yours), make sure you know all the real/true facts.

I've been getting the shot for the past ten years, and so far, no flu. IMO, there are some pretty compelling reasons to get with the program...but, of course, it is voluntary. Fortunately, back in the day when polio was making the rounds, "voluntary" was not part of the language. Canadians have a very unique perspective regarding vacinations/immunizations.
