OK, there is a annual vaccine but if I recall correctly a couple of winters ago the flu vaccine was somewhat ineffective as that winter's strain had mutated from that anticipated and for which the vaccine had been formulated.

I'm a healthy 71 year old who needs to take reasonable care against catching Covid-19 so I shall not fly this year
Yes you do agree with me because you are not willing to fly and I guess you are doing that for your own safety - great ! Which is basically what this forum is about ! I am at risk with diabetes and asthma, I get the flu vaccine but that aside it is MY decision to safeguard my family, they all agree with that. There are lots of other thing we do, we are not prisoners in our home but some things are a risk too far !
