I know, I've been offering it for years, and lots of people say no. And those are just the people who see the doctor.
Influenza vaccination has never been a prerequisite for normal life, like, ever....

Flu shots are indeed required in some contexts (e.g. participating in the US Antarctic Program, maybe some retirement homes etc?). They probably should be required in more (universities, service workers). Even if it doesn't help every year, it will help a lot overall.
