Sorry ,have to disagree with you. You are taking a risk if you are a senior citizen and DO NOT take a flu shot. As we age our immune system begins to deteriorate so flu /and or pneumonia at that age can be life threatening.
My internist specializes in geriatric medicine. He listens when I offer alternative solutions to prescription medications, but he insists on flu shots.

I would certainly be considered a senior citizen. I've had two flu shots at my wife's insistence. The first about five years ago and the second for this season. Both times I had almost constant "colds" along with cough and nasal problems. I don't think that I need to continue the experiment for another season.
