Quoted: Knowing that this year's flu shot was not very effective, what's the chance that a new flu shot will be released? This year's flu shot was trivalent. ONE of the flue strains it was made to confer immunity against has mutated, making it less effective against that ONE strain of influenza. It still works against the other two, and it STILL will make that third strain not as bad for you, decreasing the length of the infection, and it's severity. So go get a damn flu shot, so you don't get the flu, and spread it to a bunch of other innocent people. And NO, there won't be another 'different' flu shot until next fall. It takes many months to make each year's influenza vaccine. And YES, I know a LOT about immunology. I made my living at it for many years. |

Just because you drove a flu shot delivery truck doesn't mean "you know a lot about immunology."

Then expect your post to be generally ignored as people here go on their merry way posting what they "figure" to be true.

I work in a large healthcare facility.
The ONLY people who have gotten the flu are the one's who took the shot. They did not get the flu from the shot, I know. It's hilarious because we who refuse to take it were called out about it. I know the season isn't over and a few of us may still get it. If you have a good immune system, this year it seems that it's a 48 hour inconvenience. BTW, in reference to an earlier post, there's no mercury in the single dose vials, but there is formaldehyde. I know. That's how I got hnnnnnnngggggggggggg |

.Most people I know who get the shot,get the flu 
| F the flu shot. The one and only year, about 7 years ago, my wife and I got a flu shot was the one and only year we both got the flu. No I don't think we got it from the shot. But the damn thing obviously didn't work and that is the only time we have ever gotten it. A lot of people say "I've got the flu" but when you really get it, you wanna die. It lasted about a week and was horrible. |
