I do have both my: parents get the flu shot because the risks involved of getting the actual flu at your age are much more serious than the vaccine itself. SO I would recommend you get it. Hope that helps

Get the flu shot: The risk of getting the actual Influenza Virus is far greater than any risk from getting the vaccination.
