According to the CDC, this year's flu vaccine is the most effective in years...almost 59%. Wow, has something changed to offer these results? Not really. The reason the vaccine is "so effective" (but, ineffective for over 40% of those vaccinated) is that the formula is very close to this year's virus strain. In years past, that wasn't the case.
Here's what the statistics bear out. If you decide to get the vaccination, you'll have a 60/40 chance of not getting the flu...or, a 40/60 chance of getting it. If you keep your immune system strong and healthy, what do you suppose the odds would be of not getting the flu?
