I have seen many posts discussing how severe the flu has been this year.

I recently joined this subreddit out of curiosity, especially regarding the Avian Flu H5N1. Since becoming a member, I’ve felt more validated in my decision to get the flu vaccine this year. This leads me to my follow-up question: Why are so many people still getting the flu? Did you all not get vaccinated? If your answer is no, I’d like to know why not. It seems to me that avoiding the flu this year was like dodging a viral bullet.
