The news of a flu vaccine shortage as got me wondering if I should get in the habit of getting a flu shot each year (not this year, obviously). Do you guys get the shots? Why or why not?

I've never had a flu shot before. I come down with a flu bug or a bad cold maybe once every 2nd or 3rd winter, it is always pretty mild (stay in bed, watch TV, sleep - pretty much handles it), and I can stay home for a day or so without losing income or hurting my work. So it has never seemed necessary. Right/wrong?
