The 17 people I just mentioned that all tested positive all got flu shots this year.

I've had the Flu once. Truly a miserable experience and wouldn't wish that on anyone not named Obama or John Bell Edwards. Anyway, the year I got the shot I ended up with the flu.

I believe the CDC issues the vaccinations based on their "testing and/or assumptions" of what strain of Flu will be worse that particular year. This reeks of a complete money grab by the government.

I think they look at the flu season in the southern hemisphere and create the vaccine based on the most prevalent strains.
