...reason I want you to get a flu shot isn’t that it helps you, though it clearly does. I want you to get it because it helps me. Since the only way to get the flu is from direct or indirect contact with another person who is infected, each new student who is vaccinated will decrease the chances of infection for the entire community. On a large enough scale, even vaccinated people benefit from others getting the shot, because it limits the number of human vessels the flu can use as a base to mutate into...
