So, you haven't gotten a flu vaccine yet this season. You were busy, then there were the holidays, then there was that persistent sniffly nose that made you wonder if there was any point. Suddenly it's February, people in your office are succumbing to the flu one by one, and you're wondering: is it too late for me to get my flu shot?
Manufacturers have estimated that between 157 million and 168 million vaccinations will be produced for this flu season. Most will cover three strains of flu, but some for high-risk groups will also add a fourth. There are many kinds of flu that aren't covered by the vaccine, but every year the CDC tries to match the seasonal vaccine to the strains most likely to emerge during flu season.
