The truth about flu shots and vaccines?

What's your opinion on it? I hear a lot about it on both sides, both for and against. It's a very controversial subject, but I'm just interested in everyone's opinions. How has it affected you or someone you love? Have you had an experience with it?

I haven't had the flu since I've been getting flu shots, about 12 years now. But adults have the right to decide for themselves.
In terms of general vaccinations, I do think kids who can be vaccinated should be before they can attend school with other children. If they're going to be homeschooled, perhaps it doesn't matter so much. But because of a now global society, diseases that had disappeared in the U.S. are now making a resurgence, and children deserved to be protected.
