Even a small % of mortality would save insurance companies millions of dollars annually. We see it every day in our own illness where things that could potentially help are denied in order to save a dollar. Again, it is just something worth thinking about. Not saying I wholly agree but, the information is thought provoking either way.

Here is something straight from the CDC site:
"Unfortunately, some people can get infected with an influenza vaccine virus despite getting vaccinated. Protection provided by influenza vaccination can vary widely, based in part on health and age factors of the person getting vaccinated.
In general, the flu vaccine works best among young healthy adults and older children.
Some older people and people with certain chronic illnesses may develop less immunity after vaccination. However, even among people who tend to respond less well to vaccination, the flu vaccine can still help prevent influenza. Vaccination is particularly important for people at high risk of serious flu-related complications and for close contacts of high-risk people."
