I talk to people every year who got the shot, and got the flu at some point. Some who got the shot and didn't get the flu, some who didn't get the shot and got the flu, and some who got neither......and it always seems like an even split.
I've never had the flu I don't guess, I've got the shot a few years, but usually don't....
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

I have been getting them for about 6 years ( knock on wood ) I haven't had more than a sinus infection since then. I got young kids in school and they and my wife get immunized also. My wife never did until about 3 years ago and a trip to the ER for the flu. After you get the "real" flu, you'll do what you can to never get it again.
Had a buddy almost die and spend a week in the hospital from it. He was in his late 30's. ymmv
Its been 10 years since the last time that I received the flu shot and 2 months after that I had the flu. Last years flu shot only had around a 30% success rate. Nope not getting the shot again this year.
I get mine every year. Main reason I get it is because of my dad. We spend a lot of time together deer hunting and at 85 years old I do it to protect him from getting the flu from me.
