My Dr, rightly or wrongly, admitted that if wasn't involved with the sick on a daily basis that he "probably" would not get a Flu shot.

The only troubling part about that is that people who get the shot still carry around the virus, or may get a milder form of the flu. Also, children may bring home the virus to unvaccinated parents who think only the kids should get the shot. Getting the vaccine doesn't mean the virus won't land on your hands, or be on you some other way.
