I’m not saying yes or no, but my husband who now works in hospital kept telling me about how bad the flu was right around thanksgiving. He said he found it odd because they really thought the flu shot would be much more effective vs last year.

“He said he found it odd because they really thought the flu shot would be much more effective vs last year.”

I remember reading a few months ago that the flu vaccine was predicted to be 48% effective this season which was higher many previous seasons. If flu was bad this season then maybe some of it was the Wuhan coronavirus. Funny both my wife and sister in law came down with a dry cough and fever in Feb. I didn’t catch it but was sick in Jan. We all had flu shots.

That’s interesting. my doctor and said he didn’t think the flu vaccine was going to be too effective this year, and he didn’t think they were going to reformulate it halfway through as they sometimes do.

There was a miss in the flu vaccine this year, and per my doctor last fall, the second attempt didn’t arrive until mid-October. A lot of vaccinated were vaccinated with the wrong version.
