Why is the flu shot important?

When the majority of the population receives the flu shot, it creates a buffer between the virus and the most vulnerable populations like children and the elderly.

Getting the flu shot my not stop you from contracting the virus, but you may not experience the more severe symptoms that require hospitalization or cause death.
