I've definitely been very sick though in the past and would say I've had the flu.
Where I am from, everyone even doctors refer to the 24 hour stomach bug as the flu, which is nothing like a real flu. So everything things that that is what the shot is for.
I'm not discussing a 24 hour bug though. I'm talking 3-6 days of severe illness.
Respiratory?
Mostly, head and chest and breathing issues. Not to long ago I got past a head cold that turned into a lung thing. I had a cough for 3 weeks after. I didn't go to get checked out, but I probably should've.
Could be flu. Could be strep. I get strep constantly (but I know why and don't care.) LOL

ROFL. Stomach bug knocks me on my butt for a week (even the 24hr one). Strep does too. Fortunately, I don't get either of them often.

I also (for whatever reason) seem to have a lower (not low) than median white blood cell count. . .
So that likely has to do with why every year I get sick. . .

You are lucky that it is only annually. Here, it is semi-annual.

Is this some sort of get to know your co workers program from HR?
Or did you all just move the entire company to a new office building? -

It's because of the itch

Ah, the "reorg". I'm used to that.

I work from home, so maintain two offices in the house and move back and forth once or twice a year.

Yeah your office moves generally include travelling across half a continent or more.

Or did you all just move the entire company to a new office building?It varies. We are growing and finding space is not very easy. They keep adding additions changing floor layouts. 2 months ago, I had to do a Friday afternoon move of everything for 10 people into the conference room while they did modular furniture installation and move it all back on Saturday night. Last month, they moved 3 people from one side of the warehouse to the other and 2 people where they others were.
This one guy has moved 5 times in 6 years.
Edit: "We" own a 75K sq ft warehouse building with office space built into the front area. They built a second floor mezzanine to house more parts and people, including a second break room. I just found out that they are adding more space to the second floor. I think it will be several more rooms.

Yep... everyone calls a small stomach bug the flu around here. So when they get the shot and still get the bug "It didn't work!".

The flu is very specific, and usually requires a test to verify that's what it is... as it has overlapping symptoms with a lot of non-flu stuff.

The only studies I've found suggesting the flu shot is safe and beneficial are sponsored by those who profit off of it... just something I've noticed, but I haven't looked too deeply into flu shots. I just know that we're (myself and family) all perfectly fine without it.
Are you an anti-vaccer?
No, I just don't do pointless shit that is potentially more harmful than beneficial. Getting the flu myself is less harmful imho.
If I were old an frail, then that may be reversed. But until then, no thanks.
I'm up-to-date on most of my important vaccines (had to get them when I got my implant a couple of years ago). That said:
I don't get the flu shot either. I haven't had the flu in years. On the rare occasion that I get the flu, it's generally not bad enough to warrant anything more than a couple of days of bed rest and a box (or three) of kleenex. For a week or two after, I keep hand sanitizer around for those who come in contact with me.
Of all the folks that I know (in real life) who get the flu shot, all of them but one usually wind up with the flu.
If it works for you, that's awesome, keep it up! If it doesn't work for you, don't get it, *shrugs*.
I’m in the same boat. I don’t get the flu shot and haven’t had the flu in over a decade.
