But doesn't the flue virus change almost every year ,Margaret, so that this years vaccine helps you against the latest known versions which you haven't had chance to get immunity to?
I've had flue a couple of times only but every winter without fail I had very severe colds, coughs and chest infections- until starting to have the flu vaccine. Since then I've been fine so I'll stick with it.
