i do not believe in "flu shots." it is my opinion that the epidemic of pre-remediation of such a noxious virus propagates it to mutate, becoming more resistant to vaccination and therefore more noxious.
despite my ill-feelings surrounding the shock-and-awe of a preemptive strike on each year's microscopic bio-terrorists, google has developed an interesting gis product to chart reported flu cases.
mind you, my interest in this product is the mere charting of data, and, as alluded to, not the subject matter.

these are the people who benefit the most from said flu shot
1. Children aged 6 months up to their 19th birthday
2. Pregnant women
3. People 50 years of age and older
4. People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions
5. People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
6. People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including:
a. Health care workers
b. Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu
c. Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated)
and of course the flu shot is different every year as they try to target the strains that are most likely to be seen.
I have restrained from gettin flu shots because until this year - none of the above applied
