True. But at least I'll be covered for all the people sneezing on me with Type A virus. Better some coverage than none.
The other reason I always get the flu shot is that the first time I got one the doctor told me studies had shown people who got the flu shot also got 30% fewer upper resp. infections. I have always been susceptible to those so even that would be a huge benefit for me.
