Just wondering if there are any preliminary flu vaccine effectiveness rates out for this season yet. We are still awaiting swab results, but it appears my whole vaccinated family, including 2 kids, one of whom got the 4 strain inhaled live vaccine, have flu. I'm pretty much the biggest flu vaccine proponent out there but I've had flu before and this looks and feels like it. I know they can't really look at numbers until it's retrospective but just curious as I saw on another thread the vaccine was maybe not a good match this season. This is my first time in 5 years of getting the vaccine of possibly getting the flu.
