LTC Eugene Chu My point being, they have to manufacture the flu vaccines well in advance and they are only guessing about which flu strains will be the dominant ones of the season.

There is no reason to think they'll know what mutated strains they'll have to manufacture for. Which means ineffective vaccines.
