I can only relate my experiences. I use to get the flu just about every year. As I got older it was harder and harder, lasted longer. About 15 years ago I started getting flu shots. I have not gotten the flu since then, as far as I know. If I did, it was very mild sniffles for a day or two, maybe a slight cough, but no fevers.
This year my work required all staff to get flu shots. Since my coworkers were the only ones I was in close contact, I appreciate this very much.

First time ever. Strongly recommend if I wanted to see my new granddaughter. Also my doctor basically told me to not be a p___y(*) and just get one this year because he said if I didn't he would just laugh at me if I requested Tamiflu, I like his dark sense of humor.
I have went a half century never getting a flu shot and never getting the flu. Other than the mask I have been doing the hand washing, hygiene, not shaking hands, not touching my face, avoiding people that are sick (as well as those I detest). It's not rocket surgery or brain science.
(*) I have a needle phobia although I no longer get lightheaded from the irrational fear.

Our daughter gave birth to our first grandchild in May.
She sent a group text to the whole family outlining the vaccination requirements to gain an audience with the little prince.
My wife and I gladly complied. But it turns out that some on the SIL's side are anti-vaxxers.
I think the last holdouts, a pair of great-grandparents, finally relented in September. Just before Baby Barrett's first visit to Indiana.
I mean, look at him. How could they NOT?

Tamiflu is about worthless also. it can get you symptom free maybe a day earlier if you truly have influenza and you take it within 48 hours of start.
high risk of side effects. doesn't affect mortality

Not much of a choice for me to get to see that little guy IMO.Our daughter gave birth to our first grandchild in May.

Haven’t had a flu shot in 20 years. I’m not afraid of them, don’t think they’re anything they aren’t claimed to be but every single year that I got one I got sick as a dog. I may have gotten that sick once since I stopped getting them.

To me it seems obvious that if there were not known anti-vaxxers in the family, the would not have made the "demand".
Ditto, no shots in 20+ years, no flu in the same. Before that military required them and got sick about every 2 years. None of our family takes them, none of us have had the flu for a couple of decades. Survey sample of 1. YMMV.
I don't really think my daughter had any idea.
I think her demands were more, "first time mom" demands stemming from anxiety over the responsibility for keeping a baby alive.
He's 6 months now and she's finally moved from frantically washing and sanitizing his pacifier every time it his the floor to wiping it on her shirt and sticking it back in. So she's learning.
