You better stock up on chicken soup this year. You might need it if you find yourself battling the flu.

According to a report in The New England Journal of Medicine, this year’s flu vaccine may only be about 10% effective against influenza A (H3N2).

This year my daughter (mid-20s) got a flu shot and I (late 60s) did not. We both got the flu about a week apart, same symptoms/severity/duration.
