This season's shot turned out to be a mismatch against the bug that showed up late in the year. The least effective flu vaccine in the past decade was in 2014-2015; that year a mismatch was also blamed.

They call it a "mismatch" so we'll all be willing to gamble next season with another poke in the arm that they get it right next time. But that's a hoax. In reality they could best guess 100% accurately what the next big flu bug will be, vaccinate everyone, decimate that flu bug's population, and the only thing they will have accomplished is making room for an explosion in the population of the runner-up flu variant, which infects everyone, and makes their best guess look like a "mismatch". Wake up, FRiends. Flu vaccines are about tax payer money, not your health. Take your D3 and K2 daily, skip the vaccine, and enjoy saving both your money and your health.

Yes. Money.

I have to get a disciplinary write up each year for refusing the flu vaccine.
