"the antibodies you get in the shot will make the effects of the new strain less severe"

This is only a theory and has not been proven because no one wants to be in the control group. It sounds good, though.

Actually, the whole world is the control group because vaccince with Fujian/411/2002 has not been produced yet. It (probably will be represented by Wyoming/3/2003)will be in the vaccine for the southern hemisphere.

About 70% of those immunized with Panama/2007/99 have titers of &greater than 40 against Fujian

Panama offers some protection, but a vaccine made with Fujian-like virus would be better.
