If I get a flu shot will I get the flu this year? Since influenza viruses change frequently, the vaccine may not prevent certain types of influenza. Also, other viruses cause diseases that seem like the influenza and the influenza vaccine does not protect against these other viral infections. The vaccine contains viruses that are the same or similar to those thought to be most likely to come to the United States this year. top of page | question updated 5/10/05 | Can I get my regular allergy shots at UHS?
