I get the flu vaccine every year. I do not recall ever having the flu.

Same here, no flu shots for myself or my family, and no flu.

According to some medical research articles I have read, there are people who get sick with the flu and develop immunity that protects against all flu viruses. This is rare, however--most people only become immune to the specific virus that infects them.

I often wonder if I am one of those "universally immune" people. You could be one, also. If so, we are incredibly lucky.

I get the flu vaccine every year because my employer makes it mandatory. Before that, I was never vaccinated for flu.
