Because their doctors tell them to
Fear.
Every year my dr asks me if I want it. Every year I tell him my immune system is fine. This year he actually laughed as he asked if I wanted the jab.
I can halfway understand if someone got the flu shot if they are old. But just willy nilly taking that sgit is crazy
in healthcare we have to take it or wear a mask in the hospital everywhere. Well with the new rules of masks in all hospitals nobody is taking it anymore. That and Publix stopped the free $10 gift card. Flu shot and free chicken tender sub was money.
Apparently over the last few decades, as the percentage of seniors who got the vaccine drastically increased, the number of senior deaths from the flu has drastically gone up as well.

Study: Flu shots in elderly don't cut mortality rate
I have never gotten a flu shot but have been in some knock down drag out fights with the flu. Figure i have developed immunity to a lot of strains over the years.
