74. Current flu shots are NOT good again Avian Flu.
A flu shot is only good against a particular variety of flu. Last year the flu shot was successful against one type of flu, but then another type of flu rushed in to take it's place. So most of us caught the second type.

We can't make a vaccine against the Avian flu until it mutates to H-H form and we get a look at it. Then we can make a vaccine. The problem is that it will be racing through humanity at the same time that we are trying to make a vaccine.
