What just hit me last night? I had a flu shot…

Just because you had a flu shot, it doesn't mean that you can't get the flu. It's not 100% effective, it just improves your chances of avoiding it.

vaccine reduces the risk of flu illness by about 50% to 60% among the overall population during seasons when most circulating flu viruses are like the vaccine viruses.
