This could be helpful for understanding the importance of the flu shot. I used to think I didn't need it since I'm not a child or older and I hardly get sick, but then it was explained to me that even though I am not likely to die of complications from the flu, I can still be a carrier of it and pass it on to others. So it's important to get the flu shot even if you never get sick. Even when you do get the flu shot and still get sick, it doesn't mean it's not working. It still might help prevent you from getting something that you then carry and pass on to a child, older person, or someone with a compromised immune system. You're helping to raise the protection of those more in danger.
