Why the flu jab can't work as advertised

[Angel_of_the_North]

Apparently the way the flu vaccine is manufactured (in eggs) means that the virus mutates so it won't be the strain that was intended. So you are probably protected against something but no one knows exactly what - perhaps it even causes the mutations we are seeing - who knows? Perhaps the caterpillar-based ones are more effective - who knows?

Thanks for this, it’s very timely. I always need ammo to try to convince my nan that these shots don’t do her any good.
