We upon OUR island have been immunised against a particular strain of flu which we will not get, we may get a cold but NOT that flu.
We could get Aussie flu .
We have had flu jabs since 1968.

You don't have an island starbold - and you never will. More importantly, the flu jab does little to immunize, especially people of you age - it helps reduce the risk of flu by about 40% to 60%.

It's far more important that carer's are get shots - the math are complex but it makes a lot more difference to excess winter deaths that just giving shots to the vulnerable themselves

I've read there's an 11% to 40% success rate with the flu jab.
Those figures of course must be made up.
How can an accurate figure be arrived at?
