I do get flu shots - but for some unknown reason, I can't seem to keep my immune system up to par. I've even been tested for HIV a couple times - nothing seems to fit the pattern. Last year, I got 1/2 the flu shot early in the year, and the other 1/2 about 3 months later - still no major improvement. Unfortunately, the doctor I've had since I was little has retired, as at least I felt that he knew what he was talking about.

DEFINITELY ask your doctor, since you had/have that cornea infection!! My problems all started when I got a severe lung infection, took an antibiotic, and ended up taking 10 courses of antibiotics within 8 months. Bad, bad move! I'm now reading up on holistic medications.
