FLU SHOT?

I am 36, I have a 2 year old. I have never had a flu shot and have never had the flu of any kind. My husband seems to think that this year I should get the flu shot and I'm not sure what to do. Having never had a flu shot and never having the flu I have very strong feelings about it and my gut tells me not to get the shot. My reasoning? Everyone I know who has had a flu shot seems to get the flu. Maybe not every year but they do end up getting it. The few people I know who haven't had a flu shot don't recall ever having the flu. So, it seems to me getting the flu shot makes you more prone to get the flu. How is this explainable? A government conspiracy? Or just plain luck on my part and other people who have never had the flu or the flu shot? My husband wants me to get it because of our daughter but I am very leary. Any advice or thoughts on this?
