It's funny - I didn't get sick at all with the flu shot. I did have an itchy and slightly sore upper arm but that's it.

I'll give you another reason to get the flu shot - the flu shot provides you with T-cells - which fight off viruses. COVID turns off T-cell development. They've figured out that people who got their flu shots - and contracted COVID afterwards, had mild cases, and did not have a horrible immune response, because the T-cells were already there - fighting it off. They didn't have to develop the T-Cells. So it didn't matter that COVID turned them off. COVID's affect on you - has a lot to do with the state of your immune system at the time you contract it. With a flu shot - your immune system has been boosted.

I got the flu for the first time last fall, and then I got it again in October.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
