Anyone know how much protection a Flu shot is supposed to give ?
What I mean is, does it:
(A) only contain the vaccination for whatever one or two Flu strains the experts think are going to be prevalent this winter?
(B) or is it cumulative (i.e. this years shot contains the very latest stuff, as well as last years, and all of the years before that)? So if I get a shot this winter I'm also protected against the strains that were common say 5 or 6 years ago ?
Just curious really, but if anyone knows the answer...... thanks.

I've never gotton a flu shot, and quite frankly think that the things play a part in causing flu outbreaks. And well, closing the school for an extended christmas vacation (about a month or so) and making that time up in the summer would probably have more of an effect than these shots do, but that's just my opinion.
According to the link, the bacteria it is contaminated with can be deadly if if manages to get into the bloodstream.....yikes!!!
Enjoy your murcury, and um.....I sincerely hope that's the only harmful thing in it...
