This year's flu vaccine recipe was determined last year and put together this past spring. It's a pot shot, but for the most part, it seems to work.
And as always, this is not 'fact', just memory from a degree I got 10 years ago.

didn't some news show just state that they think they missed the mark this year, and probably don't have the right virus in this year's shot? and then still reccomend that we get them? please.
