Surely you've heard the arguments against people making this same case for COVID. "I'm young, so it's not going to kill me - what's the big deal?" First of all, even if it's unlikely, it could kill or debilitate you. (Both covid-19 and, to a lesser but still present extent, the flu.) More importantly, if you don't get it, you can't pass it on to someone else who might be at higher risk.
And on top of those excellent reasons, getting a flu shot is a momentary discomfort, so why not, even if just to avoid the potential discomfort of a flu?
