Perhaps the ones they got were taken from another doctor because any flu virus will expire before the year is up. That is to say, if the 2020 regular flu shot is given as early as September, chances are they won't be manufacturing it right through the year, or you'll get shots from another source. They can't use a previous one from 2019 because it has expired.
