Your conclusion there that "it worked" is badly flawed I'm afraid.
A great many people who have flu shots equally won't catch flu or colds.
But many who have the flu shots WILL catch flu and/or will catch colds.
In fact having the flu shot greatly increases your chance of getting an ILI (Influenza like illness).
The flu shot doesn't do anything significant to prevent you catching the flu as per the established studies by respected research bodies like the Cochrane Library. Your choice though.
