Yes, I did, but I now find out that I needed a flu shot for seniors. Evidently seniors have been exposed to so many viruses in their lifetime and have had so many flu shots, that the body looks at the virus antigen from the shot and says yeah yeah yeah and only does a superficial job at making antibodies.
Senior Flu Shots deliver 2.5x to 3X the antigens that stimulate antibody production. This is to compensate for the resistance built up in senior immune systems.

Yeah, those in my family who didn’t have gotten the crud this year.

I think the vaccine people really screwed up.
