Afaik, the flu shot only covers those viruses that are arlready known to scientists (which only makes sense). Since the darn things keep mutating all the time, we have to deal with new strains every year. So one could argue that the flu shots are only of limited usefulness. Maybe a new strain attacked you, and maybe, consciously or subconsciously, people who got the shot behave more carelessly, (wrongly) assuming that they are immune to the flu.
