Flu shots are weakened or killed viruses of the sort thought to be the principle carriers of the new year's flu. Flu viruses change, or mutate, rapidly, so you need a different mix every year. A very few people are allergic to some proteins acquired in the preparation process, usually from eggs. Others actually get the flu from the shots, but it's usually a mild case.
