I got one last year, I didn't get the flu but I got another virus. Is it really worth it?

due to the flu targeting these areas of the human body , this virus targets these weaknesses therefor effecting you more seriously, or letting you catch it easier
in other words the flu puts more stress on your airways then if a non asthmatic person caught it
