I think you seriously underestimate just how bad the flu can be. Perhaps you've not experienced it really bad? In the 2010-2011 year, there were ~290,000 hospitalizations from the flu, and ~37,000 deaths. There were 10 million medical visits. And all of that is _with_ people being vaccinated. I expect it would be much worse without vaccinations. Sure, most of the time you get the flu it sucks but it's not a big deal... but it can be pretty bad. It's well worth getting the vaccination, especially if your company or insurance provides it for free, just to avoid the possibility of severe issues.

I had a serious flu 3 times that I remember. Fever for a few days and hurting all over. This is goes away if I drink plenty of fluids and get rest. I might change my mind when I get older but right now I don't mind this. Also I don't understand the negative comments. I don't reject vaccines in general. I just don't think that flu vaccination is required for me. Yes, I know that flu might kill me one day, but so can so much else.
