And which vaccine were you considering getting for this, precisely?

That's part of the problem; even if it was "just like the flu" (it is not; in particular the percentage of cases requiring advanced medical treatment is much higher, which will lead to a rise in mortality as that treatment is oversubscribed), the flu would be pretty scary if the annual vaccine didn't exist.

And isn't it amazing how many people neglect to get the flu vaccine (even when they can afford it - I don't look down on those who can't)?

The flu is actually quite scary - they are the frog in hot water.
