The Flu vaccine does change every year but that is because it's based on whichever prominent strains are going around in any particular year. There are already vaccines available for these stains of influenza and two or three of them are included in any particular years flu jab, but they have been properly tested over many years

The vaccine won't kill the virus, it won't stop it spreading and it doesn't mean that you won't catch it.
That's not how vaccines work, having a vaccination means that if you do catch it then hopefully you will only have very mild symptoms and not become seriously ill.
The same as most other vaccines, we've had the flu vaccine for decades and we haven't rid the world of it

Thanks for that, something I wasn't aware of.
