I've never gotten one and haven't had the flu my entire adult life.
Even though I've always had good health insurance, I rarely use it. My wife pressured me into getting a physical early in our marriage, and my blood work and other tests came back perfect when I did so.
I've told this story before, but the doctor asked me what my secret was, and I deadpanned, "I eat whole foods and avoid people like you." The look on his face for a split second was priceless.
I did start packing on some weight over the years after that (transitioned from construction to IT and kept eating like a construction worker), but have lost nearly all the weight I gained over the past year thanks to intermittent fasting and now OMAD (One meal a day).
At this point, I'm only 10 lbs. from my high school weight.

Thats fantastic, assuming you are not in your 20s still lol
There was a finding that statistically people who never saw a doctor tended to be much healthier than those who visit doctors, even infrequently. There could be multiple reasons/causations - but one interpretation of that data that need to be researched is the moment you start taking any medication, it will start destroying your health.
It was always idiotic to get flu shots.
