Nothing to report. Sore arm for an hour and red rash at site for maybe a day

Not going to have one this year, I don't want a repeat performance.

Makes me wonder if reactions are recorded at all - they should be!

also, the companies that develop these flu vaccines don't know what flu strain will be present when they develop the flu shot, so they just guess

That pretty well describes my flu experiences - I've had two bad bouts - it puts a strain on the heart - a relative 36 years old died from it.
Incidentally I understand ( maybe I'm wrong and misunderstood a recent radio broadcast ) but developing vaccines isn't particularly rewarding and some large companies don't carry out this particular work for that reason.
