It’s becoming increasingly evident that vaccinating annually as has been the suggestion for decades may in fact cause vaccines to become less effective for you personally over time which can be bad if you develop another health condition that puts you at high risk or as you age generally.

“The idea is that the antibodies produced in year one may neutralize some of the vaccine in year two’s shot before it can trigger a full immune response, explained Dr. John Treanor, a vaccine expert at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.”
