The flu shot is going to do nothing to reduce cold frequencies or severities. With those expectations, youd be setting yourself up for failure.

There are many many viruses prevalent during flu season (which honestly is just colder temperatures seasons) ranging from corona viruses, rhino viruses, RSV, parainfluenza, enteroviruses, etc. Flu shot is specifically for influenza which is not a cold, its influenza. Its still a good idea to get your flu shot because the actual flu will knock you on your ass and in some cases can be lethal. Unfortunately many people assume their typical winter colds are caused by influzena which is usually not the case. Flu shot may prevent or decrease severity of symptoms in the event you actually come into contact with actual influenza
