So our local news (and I'm sure there's an update on the CDC), that for the flu-both H1N1 and seasonal effect more children than people over 60, because those over 60 have been exposed to more strains and have more resistance to the flu viruses, than children.

So, why are we vaxing for the flu? Wouldn't we want as many people to be exposed natrually as possible to help build a resistance to the diff strains? What's the vax going to do that the wild virus doesn't? How is it harming/helping those who do/do not get it? Is it causing any issues in the generation gaps?
