From recent experience (happily now coming to an end) I can confirm what
the public health folks are saying: this year's flu shot does NOT catch
some strains that are going around. My doctor's office has been seeing a
lot of folks (including me) with one of those strains. If you think you
may be coming down with the flu despite a flu shot, see your doctor
pronto. Complications include bronchitis and even pneumonia, and
convulsive coughing sprays that virus everywhere. Folks working in public
places have to be especially careful. By the way, my doctor advises
getting lots of protein, as it helps recovery. But the loss of appetite
that goes with this flu makes that difficult.
