Well, highthief, there's where it doesn't add up. The pharma companies that manufacture the vaccines make a vaccine for the national supply. However flu variants are dissimilar across the US each year. A flu vaccine may contain virus parts for up to three flu variants, but it's still a guessing game. Even if they guess correctly for part of the country, it's unlikely that they guess right everywhere.
My experience is that, whenever I get a flu shot, I get symptoms bad enough to actually BE the flu, and it is therefore pointless. Here on this deployment we were given a nasal "spray"... actually a viscous liquid we injected into our sinuses. Man, that shit was horrible. I still felt horrible for days after that.
YMMV
