Get flu shot ASAP: The antigenic markers which the flu viruses reveal to the outside world are in a constant state of flux. That is why you should get a flu vaccine every year. Last years may not be protective any more.

Flu vaccines: now cover the H1N1 strains of the flu, so if you are up to date with flu vaccine this fall, you should be okay unless you have chronic lung disease, etc. There have not been recent epidemics of that strain like there were several years ago.
