flu shot?

I'll be visiting my GP next week and I'll get the "you should get your flu shot" advice. I've never had it before and now, with having UC, it seems like all the more reason not to get it.

I don't feel 'educated' enough on the subject which is why I've never had it yet. It seems nonsensical to mess around with an immune system that apparently isn't working well.

It makes more sense to me to make sure my vit D levels are up and that I'm eating and supplementing to help my body do what it's supposed to.

What's everyone elses thoughts on this?
