The CDC actually recommends every adult and child get flu shots, but a lot of people have always ignored that recommendation (I knew someone who claimed the flu vaccine would make you get the flu, people have strange ideas about vaccines even before covid). EU did not have the same recommendation though.

Covid-19 is much more dangerous than the flu though, so the reaction and concern has been different…

Getting the flu shot one year can have negative net efficacy in the following year[1]. Its not necessarily going to be more shots == better for Covid shots either.
