Agreed, but people need to understand that the flu vaccine is one of the least effective ones there are because the flu is constantly changing, and using some predictions on what it might be like this year based on some of last years strains is a shot in the dark.
I get it every year, with as many strains as they'll give me, and it still hasn't prevented me from getting the flu a number of times.
Hard to know if the flu you caught was less severe because of the jab.
Also, I heard one should get a second shot mid winter because the formula changes. Anyone know if that is true?
