yes, because the flu vaccine only covers a few strains which are predicted to be the most common. But it is not all inclusive.

Yes. Flu is one of those diseases that is caused by a virus that mutates, so the shot that protects against one strain might not against another.

Yes, but not as bad as if you had not taken the flu shot.

Yes, you can the flu shot protects against certain strains, adn sometimes they can't predict what strains to immunize against.
