You should have natural immunity to the flu and cold virus as well by now, why do we still have the flu shot. Why am I still getting a cold.

Natural immunity helps, but is not enough to stop the spread of an ever mutating corona virus. Yearly updated vaccines, like the flu shot, will be needed to keep Covid-19 cases manageable. There is no end to Covid-19. It's here to stay and with vaccines we can reduce it to a severe cold instead of hospitalization and ICU.
