Every year in the summer they forecast which type of flu will hit in the coming winter. Then they formulate shots for that type of flu.
Half the time, they pick the wrong type of flu.



So without the flu shot you may have 100% chance of getting the flu and with it you have 50% chance. Hmm. I prefer to cut my chances in half. They got it right this year, especially for my wife and I. The later in the fall you get them, the more accurate the guess. Too early may be the wrong shot. Wait a month or so after they come out, then they may have the right one.
