Yeah. I don't get the flu vaccine for that very reason. As I explain it (every year) for the doctor, in 15 years of not getting a flu shot, I got the flu once. That's 7 days of illness over 15 years. In 3 years of getting the flu shot, I got sick as a dog all 3 years, for 4 days each time, with "flu-like symptoms". Get the shot, guaranteed 4 days of misery. Don't get the shot, statistically average 1/2 day of misery. That's a total no-brainer, since I'm in otherwise reasonably good health with no underlying issues that make complications either likely or exceptionally dangerous.
