Mysterious that a lot of people always get it and others almost never (or never) get it......
It has to do with one's immunologic system and how the virus mutates. That has to do with the geographical location. There are zones where the virus is stronger, and people where the immunologic system (even aided by the shoot) is not strong enough to kill the vira.

I've never had a vaccine. Period. My family (and I) put our trust in Oriental medicine. It hasn't failed us so far - in fact, a few years ago my father was very sick, but, after visiting a Chinese medicine practioner, he got quite better.
Anyway, what do you mean by the Flu? There are many types of Influenza, but if you mean the common flu, then I've had it a few times - probably I first got it when I was three, I dunno.

Influenza *is* flu. But there are many forms of it.
When people refer to "stomach flu" or just "the flu", they usually are referring to a particularily nasty strain of the common cold.

Well, flu is more than a cold. It is caused by certain kinds of vira, the cold isn't (it is just a slight body defences fault caused by many things).
