That's true. You have to take the responsibility to keep yourself and family vaccinated, to include annual flu shots. As my wife found out the hard way. While flu vaccines actually do carry about a one in a million chance of causing Guillian-Barre' Syndrome, benefits by far out weigh the risks.

If (when) there is a pandemic of a seriously deadly virus, the boneheads who have relied on the "herd principle" to keep them safe will be decimated.
