The flu vaccine is available at most pharmacies and doctor's offices every year. Since the vaccine lowers the risk of getting the flu by 40 percent, not everyone decides to take it. Doctors say it is fine for most people to go without but someone with a weaker immune system would want to get a shot to help keep them from getting the flu. Who would MOST likely benefit from a flu shot?

O a 72-year-old cancer patient

This individual would most likely benefit from a flu shot due to their weaker immune system, as cancer and its treatments often compromise immunity, making them more susceptible to infections like the flu.
