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
