A flu shot is mostly pointless.
It's not like it's going to actually make you immune to the flu. At best it gives you a better chance of fending off the strains they guessed at and next to nothing from any other strain. It's a crap shoot more than a true cure.
Now if they were discouraging people from getting polio, MMR, smallpox or similar that's a travesty. Flu, meh, whatever.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
