During the Canadian 2015-16 season, research indicated a success rate of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/canada-flu-shot-vaccine-skowronski-h1n1-1.3669427\">45 to 50%<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public health experts admit that rate is lower than desired, but it\u2019s important to keep in mind that the vaccine changes every year according to the prevailing strains of the virus. When there is a good match between the vaccine and the circulating flu strains, protection can be 5<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/about\/qa\/vaccineeffect.htm\">0-60%<\/a>\u00a0or higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Effectiveness during a particular season may not predict effectiveness in future seasons. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/about\/qa\/vaccineeffect.htm\">studies have determined <\/a>that flu shots offer public health benefits.

While you may still get the flu even if you have received a flu shot, chances are that you will have a milder form of the disease. This is because your body already contains the antibodies to fight it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ince the influenza virus strain changes from year to year, developing immunity against the flu one year doesn\u2019t mean you will be protected the next.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting the flu shot each year is the safest way to protect yourself. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Myth #6: Pregnant women shouldn\u2019t get the vaccine.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5232\" src=\"https:\/\/joinastudy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FluMyths_4-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Flu Shot Myths Truths\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joinastudy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FluMyths_4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/joinastudy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FluMyths_4.jpg 407w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flu shot is safe for both pregnant women and infants over the age of six months.
