UNJERK ANSWER: I get a flu shot annually. Why: my doc, who took a specialty in tropical diseases in Australia, follows this sort of thing closely. He told me: "No one ever gets 'a touch of the flu'--full-blown influenza is 9-10 days of serious illness, which should be spent at home in bed or in a hospital. A flu shot isn't bulletproof but reduces the chances of you getting influenza." Clearly that's important for kids/elderly, but he also pointed out that you don't want to get influenza during, say, an outbreak of SARS--you'll be quarantined for something you don't have.
Think of things in those terms.
And yes, I was living in HK when the reports of vinegar-boiling in Guangzhou came in. At the time we just thought, eh, those wacky cousins north of the border. A few months later it was apparent that things were serious.
An excellent book (with a lousy title) on the subject:

They shut down schools a week early here in HK. The mainland?
