It's not available to me partially because I am not in the highest risk population.I would probably take my chances with the flu, being in a healthy middle age, with a childhood replete with survived flu infections, and the tendency of people in my age bracket to suffer relatively mild flu that is got over in the usual time.I don't pretend to be invulnerable, but I think the vaccine is of greater benefit to others... and I'm perfectly willing to let them go first.

I don’t pretend to be invulnerable, but I think the vaccine is of greater benefit to others… and I’m perfectly willing to let them go first.
