What does that mean? You still have a 30% chance of getting the flu?


It means it guards against 70% of the flu strains for that year. (I actually think that's high and it's more like 60%).

Not getting a flu shot is silly.

It also varies from person to person. My mom and I both got the flu shot and she got the flu this year I took care of her while I was home on break and I didn't get it (knock on wood).
