However, you are not immune to any other strains of flu viruses. Flu injections, which protect against flu infections, are also not 100% effective because flu viruses are able to mutate.

      Concern: I have read that “natural immunity” (getting the disease) is safer and works better than getting vaccinated. General Responses: It is true that natural infection almost always causes better immunity than vaccines. Because after a single natural infection, you often get immunity (like with measles or chickenpox) whereas you generally need 2 or more doses of a vaccine
