No Question About It: The benefits of flu vaccine grossly outweigh any risks in preventing a serious, even life threatening disease.

Certainly: Flu fatalities are represented in higher proportions in children, the elderly and those with chronic illness. The flu vaccine is unable to prevent all flus in all years but it is safe and what we have to work with.
