Yes. Every year. The flu is awful to have and while the shot is not foolproof (three years ago I caught the flu anyway) it is still the best insurance out there.
Also, if you are over fifty don’t put off getting the two dose shingles vaccination.

Quoted from SadSack:My stepfather got the varicella/shingles vaccine at 84. He's now 88. He's suffered the shingles since just after the shot and is now getting an eyeball removed to stop the pain from the neuropathy caused by shingles. I don't need any of that "protection". Besides, I had the chicken pox so shingles ain't gon' be no thing to me.
Oh, yeah, he never met a shot he didn't want and is in complete denial the shot caused it.
What you do regarding your health is up to you. Nobody else, really. But the reason you get shingles is because the chicken pox immunity wears off in our later years. My doctor recommended the vaccine.
