We have lots of actual scientific evidence on this.
The flu shot can't give you the flu. (The nasal spray can! Your doc will recommend against it if you're in certain categories, like being immune suppressed.)
The efficacy varies from year to year, because they have to make an educated guess at which strains will be most prominent each year.
