Good question. The reason is that the virus that causes the flu is constantly mutating and changing. So the vaccine that is used this season is based on what the virus looked like at the time it was manufactured. But the virus is clever and it learns how to change, so that's why we gotta keep changing the vaccine each season.

Because the strain of flu varies from year to year; even vaccinations have to be altered to meet the constant new forms of influenza.
