I don't think concern about avian flu has any bearing on whether or not you should get a flu shot.
Currently, the only thing stopping H5N1 from full-blown pandemic-hood is its difficulty in infecting human-to-human. The easiest way for this to change would be for someone infected with a human-adapted strain to catch H5N1, giving the two viruses a chance to exchange genetic information and give birth to a strain with H5N1's lethality and easy human-to-human transmissibility.
So while the flu shot won't protect you against H5N1, the fewer human-adapted strains of influenza infecting the general population, the better.

I'm having a disturbing vision of shrift snarling fiercely and covering it with tiny cigarette burns, muttering, "You wanna lecture me, cookie? I got your patience

I think that's the proper response.
