How easy is it to get the flu compared to past vaccination or never vaccinated?
I have heard that if you get a flu vaccine that you have to get it every year. If you have gotten it in past years and then skip it this year then your immunity to the flu is super low and you can get the flu easily but if you have never gotten one your natural immunity is a little better at fighting it although you can still get sick.
I don't know if this is true or if it is an Old Wives Tale.

Not really cause the flu virus mutates producing a different strain every year. Nobody is naturally immune cause their bodies have not come in contact with it yet. But each year the flu vaccine is manufactured according to the new strain of virus. So if you get vaccinated then you are protected. You have to keep geting vaccinated every year because the flu virus mutates into a new strain.
