... many thanks for all of your comments! I will wait until I am 60-years old (in three years) and then reevaluate.

Personally, I think that the Flu Vaccine is basically useless, and have stopped getting them.

However, a vaccine that I am a strong believer in is the "Pneumococcal Vaccine", and I have now had both vaccinations (each containing different strains). When you read the press about tens of thousands of older Americans dying from the "Flu" each year, in reality what they are actually dying from is Pneumonia brought on BY the Flu.

I think that if they had gotten the duel pneumococcal vaccinations many would not have died, whereas I don't think the "Flu" vaccination accomplishes much (and is a money-making tool only).

Thoughts ... Mrs D?
