Hot shots

As my story today points out, it's getting to be time for flu shots. The disease kills 32,000 Americans yearly, hospitalizes 200,000 and affects between 5 percent and 20 percent of the population, but far less than half of Americans get shots.

Do you make it a point to get a flu shot? (I'm pretty good about it myself, although I slipped up on it last year.) Why or why not?
