Sign me up for this, I want a shot that's got a reasonable chance of being effective even if I need it every year or two.

I'm the opposite. I have zero interest in this. I've never had a flu vaccine in my life. I've had the flu maybe once. And I'm nearly 60.

Some sort of natural immunity maybe? I realized several years ago that I was getting the flu every year unless I got the shot, and it always kicked my ass. I did skip the shots over the Covid years though.

On the other hand, I’ve managed to avoid getting HSV-1 even though it seems like everybody else in my age bracket (over 60) has it. Must be something genetic.
