It would be helpful for me if there was clearer public communication about how recommendable the flu vaccine is in any given year. It varies a lot because some years they've correctly guessed the circulating strains and in other years they haven't. I'm happier to get vaccinated in years where we can expect (a) the circulating strains to be bad and (b) the vaccine being effective against it.
