In USSR flu shots made with conventional technology was tried as a preventive measure, but was abandoned as they don't show any significant result and moreover, in some cases even lead to higher flu rates. And any flu shots was strictly prohibited during seasonal case rise, don't even taking epidemic. Use of flu shots was supposed before the season, not during it. Also, it was hard to predict what strain will prevail in season, so, even if they worked, it was senseless to do mass vaccinations.
So, USSR abandoned flu shots long ago, but continue to produce some quantity for every new strain, since then they was completely voluntary, but only complete retards do them.
After USSR fall here came Western BigFarma and advertising of flu shots appear again. However, USSR expirience and obvious uselessness of flu shots make that BigFarma move failed. Again, only complete retards do that flu shots here.
I took one flu shot my entire life. I had a severe adverse reaction. I ended up with herpes zoster (shingles), and an infection that spread to my ear canal and ruptured my eardrum. I’m thankful I had it happen before Covid because it made me skeptical of the vaccine industry but just a PSA to anyone reading just like OP is saying. All flu shots are bogus, and have danger.
