Flu Shot

[Charham]

After yet another year of getting the shot and getting the flu I looked around and reports claim that the flu shot does not work for 1 in 10 people. Yet everyone in my family got the shot this year and got the flu. I have been out for 4 days now and running. We may be unlucky, but I am starting to suspect the efficacy of these shots. Has anyone looked at the science, tests behind these shots?

I got one about 10 years ago, and two days later, caught the flu.

I was seeing my doc yesterday and he told me to not even waste my time. Its more for kids and the elderly.

the dingbats at the CDC probably picked the wrong strains this year, or you got a fake shot.

I've heard it is a guessing game just to get enough shots in stock for the flu season
