Probably before you get flu.

I get an invitation each year but never accept it. My immune-system may be weaker than the average, it can handle flu without aid - helping it out when it does not need it does not sound like a good idea to me.

I believe that I did not get one last year, and I was knocked out for weeks; at least two, and I think three; maybe a full month.
No intention of a repeat !

Sorry, but that sounds like a very lazy immune-system.
Go find some germs to train it.

The germs here aren't like the germs there. These germs work out at the gym and watch training videos.

..in that case, lower your bar; try to pre-train your immune system with stuff that is not dangerous, like spicy food and fermented drinks

Interesting question...
If you choose to get be vaccinated, as others have suggested, the 'season' would be your early Autumn... if you delay, you may have the flu before you get your shot.
Or, you can allow your immune system to work without it and not get the shot. I do not get flu shots; I don't remember the last time I had the flu. The last 'serious' illness was almost 2 years back when I think I had viral pneumonia over Christmas.. plenty of fluids and rest. When the virus left my body, I had a body wide rash... antihistamine shot from the doctor cleared the rash.

The whole flu-shot thing is a really hit-and-miss proposition. It's based on best guesses as to what will be coming around.
In a good year it's 50% effective. The last on in the US was less than 20% effective. Not too many years ago there was a version that made many people as sick as the flu in terms of aches and pains.
Even when found to be ineffective, it is pushed to the public as the big pharmaceutical companies that make it will only do so if the governments assure them a profit by pushing the vaccines no matter what its effect.
In theory, the people who need it are those who's health condition puts them at risk to the effects of the flu - a century ago, dying from the flu was considered death by natural causes and rather common. People (in the West, at least) are healthy enough to withstand the flu unless they're quite old or infirm.

You need a bit of talent for that, something I'm sadly lacking.

On this Quora post[^], the guy said he uses 6 screens for his daily use, as a programmer. I will say, that he didn't have the ALT + TAB keys or they don't work; where as he claims he doesn't have to press them.
I have used one screen at a time, for everything, everytime! OriginalGriff once wrote about his 2 screens, well that is fair enough I also have a secondary laptop and I use it for chatting purposes if I am working, but 6?

2 works well. Maybe 3 can as well - IDE one one, program / browser on one, and SQL on another. But I agree, 6 is a bit much - over-multi-tasking.

(Sorry if you are not a Windows 10 fan but) Windows 10 supports multiple desktops, you can create one for your girl to let her know you are giving her entire time of yours, and another where you have CodeProject and Visual Studio active.
I say, I don't even need multiple screen I can use multiple desktops.

I'm on 2 (I'm not counting additional devices/machines, just a workstation's screens), now I don't know if I grow accustom to them or what but honestly I feel that if I would go back to a single one I would probably be a lot less efficient... maybe it's just in my head.
Nevertheless I use 2 at work but also at home as well.
Now regarding the 6, hmmm it seem quite unnecessary to go that far... but then again who knows... maybe I should try it out in order to say for sure

Right, 2 is enough. What can a person do with 6 screens in a programming environment? Visual Studio can handle debugging and all in one screen.
