IMHO society has germophobia much all brought about companies trying hoc disinfectants so they make you think there is an issue when there is really not. Just because there is a germ present does not make it an issue.
As for flu vaccinations, meh the last I read was they are 58% effective. A waste of time and money unless one has a compromised immune system.
If you want hedge your bets, eat healthy, get some exercise, and get a good night's sleep.
While it's true that the vaccine is only moderately effective it will provide at least some measure of protection for many of those who aren't completely immunized. And the notion that being repeatedly ill somehow strengthens or toughens people is just not accurate.
