I'm curious why they don't expand it to cover more than one strain? Lets say, the top 3 strains they think may be prevalent this year, instead of just one?

Each seasonal influenza vaccine contains three influenza viruses: one influenza type A subtype H3N2 virus strain, one influenza type A subtype H1N1 (seasonal) virus strain, and one influenza type B virus strain.[2] A quadrivalent flu vaccine administered by nasal mist was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2012.

Heh. Well in that case, make it the half-dozen most likely.

Had it right after Christmas. Didn't get out of bed much for a week except for the one day that I was required to go to work, and that day sucked goat scrotum from hell.

Day four currently winding down.

Not fun. I can't begin to express how happy I am that the VA hospital insisted I get a flu shot.
