I work in a hospital and they try very hard to make us get one. I got one last year- forced to- and still got sick. I won't do it again- the flu shot is only for one or two strains of flu- the health officials and the drug companies guess which strain of flu will be rampant and vaccinate against that. Unfortunately they rarely guess right. So it's a crap shoot and I refuse to play this game.
Take your chances either way.
