Flu after Immunization????

Can you get the flu even after you have gotten an immunization? I looked it up on the CDC website and it was not very specific. I asked an infectious disease doc and he said "yes" if you are exposed to a different strain but you won't get "as sick". Everyone here in So Cal is sick with something, coughing, sneezing etc. and I thought I was being careful but something has hit me hard.

I'm alone in a hotel room surviving on advil and bottled water. This sucks being far away from anyone taking care of me but I'm feeling better bit by bit.

Maybe only when the vaccine was given in Tennessee???? We both got the vaccine and we both got the flu, hum.....
