Only if they guess the correct strains for the year, which they have to do about 6 months in advance.

...Only if they guess the correct strains

No guessing is involved. They base the Northern vax on the prevalent strains from the Southern hemisphere (and vice versa). Unfortunately a nasty varient started making the rounds shortly after the Northern vax was in production.

An educated guess is still technically a guess

If only there was data to predict it, and scientists who are qualified to make vaccines.

What does that have to do with it? Doesn’t mean they are perfect and get it right every year.

The US stopped this data analysis in 2025. They swim in shit instead.

Of course I have my vax. Just don’t have high hope for much protection this year.
