The shots may not always prevent the flu, but they can lessen the severity. I had one, Jim didn't. Both of us got it and mine wasn't as severe or lengthy. And sometimes, the vaccine (which has to be predicted months in advance for manufacture) doesn't cover all strains. Just the nurse in me offering possible explanation. Glad you are better, Teri.
