Hmmm.... what does that mean for someone like me? I never take flu shots (not in 20 years), because (Well until this year), I almost never get sick.

When people around me get sick, I recover quicker, and have less symptoms. (Again, except this year - which has been really odd.)...

Should I be taking flu shots?? Does it make me more vulnerable overall because I don't?

Flu shots don't have anything to do with SARS as flu shots are for certain KNOWN flu strains, I believe. Since SARS is unknown at this point, a flu shot will not help. (At least that is my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong, somebody, anybody)
