“annual flu shots are recommended for everyone age 6 months or older.”

An informative bit of information to provide would be:

Does the current vaccine cover H3N2 variant ??

From what I have read, the answer is maybe. Apparently this strain of the flu is a clever bugger and can mutate rather quickly. There is also something about it not responding as well to vaccines grown in eggs (which they are). At any event, it doesn’t hurt to get the shot, so I it even if the protection isn’t as good as we hope. It’s better than nothing.
