True or False: Getting a flu vaccine guarantees individuals will not get the flu.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Getting a flu vaccine does not guarantee that individuals will not get the flu. This is because sometimes the flu strains chosen for the vaccine aren't the best match for those strains that end up in circulation. However, the flu vaccine can provide immunity against the flu, either preventing it completely or ensuring that its duration and severity are less.
