Flu virus widespread around New England – The Boston Globe
The strains of flu virus used to make this season’s vaccine aren’t a good match with what’s circulating, meaning that the shot provides a weaker shield of protection than in most years.
The evidence of that can be found in the Jamaica Plain offices of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Yeah, only 40% good this year, the FDA actually recently for the first time changed all three strains of the flu covered in the flu shot from the previous year. They do their best I guess…
