    Well, flu vaccine is indeed a very complex topic. Effectiveness fluctuates from season to season and it is recommended by WHO for kids, elderly, severely sickened individuals.

      It’s recommended for critical demographics especially by the WHO because of limited availability in some contexts and greater risks for said demographics, not because flu shots aren’t recommended for non-critical demographics.

      I recommend reading about the so called “Spanish Flu”. It cilled several million, mostly young and healthy people. Good luck if your army caches this type of flu during war.
