Quick question...What vaccinations have you been told are required? There are no vaccinations that are required in the state of Michigan. Both of my children are not vaccinated and for the most part seem to be less likely to get sick then some of my friends children. The schools have waviers from the Health department if you chose not to based on medical, ethical or personal reasons. Mine is both a personal and medical choice.
Now if you have not had the flu for the last few years then why bother...Just my opinion. The flu shot you would be going would be for some flue strain that went around last year or the year before. You could get the flu from the shot or you could still get the flu, just another strain.
I work outside and come into contact with a lot of people, but still it's not worth it to me. We take our vitamins eat healthy and wash our hands a lot and at school and work I send both my kids to school with wipes for their desk when kids start getting sick.
The best way to eliminate getting sick is to eat healthy and wash your hands and work surfaces.
Good luck
