You've heard it many times: You should get a flu shot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that anyone older than six months get one by the end of October, though late is better than never.

Yet, an online survey by CityMD, a network of urgent care centers, found that 52 percent of millennials don't plan on getting the vaccine. Turns out we have one such skeptic on staff.

Jonah Engel Bromwich, my Times colleague, is a 27-year-old who says he never gets a flu shot, making him exactly the kind of person who experts wish they could reach. But he has agreed to offer up his excuses so we can quash them one by one, and we thank him for that.
