[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2316123, member: 41816"] that info was for the 2013-14 jab. Do you have any info for more recent vaccines? I do recall that there was a bit of a furore a few years ago 2? 3? whereby it was leaked that the over 65’s jab was ineffective and offered nil or minimal protection - effectively a massive waste of healthcare time and money. It is always a gamble. They have to start manufacturing the jab a year before the flu season starts, so they have to make prophetic decisions on which flu strain will dominate and hope they pick the right ones. If they get it wrong, the vaccine won’t target the flu that is circulating that year. [/QUOTE]
