I and about 20 others in the office got our flu shots a couple weeks back. No complaints from anyone.

Sooner or later, someone will have a reaction to just about anything. I’d rather take my chances with the shot than a flu - been there, done that. If a shot reduces the risk of catching some variant of flu by even 50%, it is worth the effort.

I have never heard of a bad reaction to vitamin D (D-3 if you get it in a gelcap instead of from the Sun) short of taking 60k iu or so a day and it seems to be headaches and lethargy. The immediate cure for that is quit taking so much of it. You don't stay out under the cloudless sun in July all day either. That will make you feel less than your best, too.
