[quote=Anonymous]Last year was weird because the vaccine was off. That happens. I will say that the difference between my vaccinated kids that got the flu and my unvaccinated husband that got the flu was VERY noticeable. They were basically fine -- just a little under the weather. He was getting measured for a casket he felt so awful. I think they had a little bit of immunity from the vaccine. Somewhat ironically, he got the vaccine a day before falling sick -- when he saw they were sick, he ran out to get the vaccine, but it was too late. Here's what the NYTs says about how long it lasts. Sounds like for healthy people, all agree that it lasts long enough to not be a concern. There's some debate about whether the elderly should get two shots, because they don't have strong immune reactions: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/17/ask-well-how-long-does-a-flu-shot-last/?_r=0[/quote]
