Now you understand the flu and its vaccines but you're probably still wondering why there's a new shot every September. That brings us back to that word #candidate. #whysomanyshots #scicomm

[Biocord Network @BiocordNetwork]

This proposed contagious candidate virus gets used to make the new vaccine. You get the new vaccine for the new dominant mutation. Sometimes they fail to predict the right strain and that's why you have cases like the 2021-2022 flu season where the vaccine was less effective.

Now you know why #somanyshots. Doctors don't want to poke you every year. Good for nothing grandson virus just can't stick to the family recipe.

#Influenza. Pig flu, bird flu, Type A, B, C, and D. What is it? Can it be treated? And why the heck do you need to get a vaccine for it every year? #scicomm

Those inactive pieces will then activate the adaptive immune system to build a memory for the real flu. It's all about building that memory, but what happens when the virus evades that memory? #moreshots
