Т. к. я в течение последних 8 лет гриппом не болел и в группы риска пока не вхожу, то я от привики от гриппа воздержусь.

Но Ваши пациенты (тяжелые кардиологические больные) еще как входят. Поэтому вакцинация против гриппа рекомендована и медработникам:

Health-Care Workers and Other Persons Who Can Transmit Influenza to Those at High Risk
Persons who are clinically or asymptomatically infected can transmit influenza virus to persons at high risk for complications from influenza. Decreasing transmission of influenza from caregivers and household contacts to persons at high risk might reduce influenza-related deaths among persons at high risk. In two studies, vaccination of health-care workers was associated with decreased deaths among nursing home patients (144,145), and hospital-based influenza outbreaks frequently occur where unvaccinated health-care workers are employed. Administration of LAIV has been demonstrated to reduce MAARI in contacts of vaccine recipients (175,176) and to reduce ILI-related economic and medical consequences (such as work days lost and number of health-care provider visits).
All health-care workers should be vaccinated against influenza annually (147,177,178). Facilities that employ health-care workers are strongly encouraged to provide vaccine to workers by using approaches that maximize vaccination levels. An improvement in vaccination coverage levels might help to protect health-care workers, their patients, and communities; improve prevention of influenza-associated disease and patient safety; and reduce disease burden. Influenza vaccination levels among health-care workers should be regularly measured and reported. Although vaccination levels for health-care workers are typically <40%, with moderate effort, organized campaigns can attain higher levels of vaccination among this population (146,179). In 2005, seven states had legislation requiring annual influenza vaccination of health-care workers or the signing of an informed declination (147), and 15 states had regulations regarding vaccination of health-care workers in long-term--care facilities (180). Physicians, nurses, and other workers in both hospital and outpatient-care settings, including medical emergency-response workers (e.g., paramedics and emergency medical technicians), should be vaccinated, as should employees of nursing home and chronic-care facilities who have contact with patients or residents.
