Unless you're 80 years old, getting a flu shot is trusting the government over viruses while injecting you with a little bit of flu - some vacs have a live virus in them too...depends who you get them from.
I'm 80 and I have been getting them every year since I began my chemo treatment 5 years ago. Doctors advised me to get the flu shot, but cautioned me not to rely on it too much. Fortunately I live in an isolate rural area and don't come into contact with many strangers. No flu in that span, but I attribute it more to my secluded lifestyle than the vaccine.

The best advice I ever heard was this: if you go to grocery store or the gas station wash your hands before you touch your face.
