Come right out with it then. It can't hurt ya, it is very likely to help ya, it's not expensive. What is the reason for avoiding it?
I was kinda hoping you were smart enough to figure it out on your own, see past your own paradigm and explore the myriad of possibilities as to why some one would or would not do something.
Since that didn't work:
I was raised that one didn't go to a doctor unless one was very sick and one did not take medications or get inoculations unless there was no other option. (I traveled a lot as a kid and a young adult, I've had my share of inoculations.) Working in the medical field for twelve years I reconfirmed that upbringing. There are many people who require more medical interaction than most others, I've been blessed to be one of the others as are most people. Why pay for something that is 80% preventable using common, proven precautions unless you are in that grouping of people at serious risk?
None of which addresses the points raised: It can't hurt ya, it is very likely to help ya, it's not expensive.
You were raised not to go to the doctor unless very sick (JW?) but you avoid something simple that will make it much more likely that you do not get very sick? Does not compute.
