I think the idea of exposure and immunity sound fantastic in theory but it's also just as difficult for me to believe that to be true.

I got the flu shot this year (October), and I haven't been sick (knock on wood), but when I was getting it, my Doc basically said it's an educated guess of the potential active strain. Total crapshoot I guess.
