Similar situation here. Last got it in October 2005. Already had sinus problems but it made them so bad that I finally went in for treatment after I ended up staying sick for the following 3 weeks. This eventually led to the discovery of a bigger problem where a small part of my skull was eroding due to long term untreated sinus problems from a deviated septum. Took a couple of years to fix due to recurrent infections but my nose is now wide open now.

Anyway since then I've gotten a shot every year.

I am though one of the 11% or so that gets a mini flu with the shot that last for about a day or two but it certainly beats getting the real thing.
