No, it is not 100% effective, but it is still your best chance to avoid the flu.

I am amazed at the number of people that will not get the flu shot or pneumonia shot and it’s free to those on Medicare. Many have read “Something” about the so called side effects and have become paranoid about vaccinations in general. I understand if you do get the flu that recovery is better if you have the flu shot.
