Last years shot was so ineffective that i doubt it had much impact except to make a lot of those who died feel safer......
There are some things to remember about the flu vaccine. If you are already exposed to the flu, then it can't keep you from getting the flu. If you get the shot and then run right out and expose yourself to the flu, it can't keep you from getting the flu. It takes the shot a week to ten days to build up the immunity.
As for me, I did get the shot last year, but still got the nasty type "A" flu. However, it minimized the symptoms so much that I hardly felt ill for about half a day.
