Haven't had the flu in at least 6 years, I'm worried?!
Question: Haven't had the flu in at least 6 years, I'm worried?
Alright so I am 17 and I haven't had the flu in at least 6 years. I don't get flu shots or anything like that. I get maybe about 2 or 3 colds a year but that is all I've had in the last 6 years.
Should I be worried? I don't want to get the flu and just die because my body can't fight it off.. Anybody in this situation?

Answers:
Nothing to be worried about at all. I've known one or two people in your situation. It made me quite envious of them for having a strong immune system. Be grateful you haven't gotten the flu that long.
The flu shot is overhyped. There's really no need to get it unless you're a really young adolescent or an elderly. When I got the flu shot, I still got sick. As long as you eat healthy and exercise, you'll be fine.
