There is no such thing as a natural vaccine, and there never will be. And even if there were, being natural does not make it safe.
There are risks to taking the vaccine, and they are small and generally rare. The risk of not taking the vaccine is increased likelihood of contracting a particularly harmful strain of the influenza, one that has seen healthy, young adults in intensive care with supported breathing for up to two weeks. Not only do you increase your chances of contracting it, you increase the chances you will give it to someone you know, such as family, friends or coworkers. It might even kill them.
Now, balancing those risks, I am very willing to take the vaccine, even if it is not perfect.
I wish I didn't feel so unsure about the entire thing, only time will tell.
