Whether you get immunized or not, if you get flu symptoms, see your doc right away. There is an antiviral that can be administered, but it must be given within 48 hours of first symptoms.
I hadn't had a flu shot in probably 10 years - last year, I managed to get deathly sick from the flu, further complicated by an opportunistic case of bacterial pneumonia. I won't retell the whole story here again, but it was deadly serious and undoubtedly the most miserable month of my life.
I am getting vaccinated this year.
