Absolutely not, unless you want to risk getting the flu, as long as you are able to get the vaccination. Everyone who can should get the annual seasonal flu vaccination. Unless you are allergic to ingredients in the flu vaccine or your doctor tells you not to get it, don't skip it. If in doubt, contact your health care professional.
