Does vaccination for flu cover you for all flu?

No. Each year for the US, the CDC has epidemiologists who study the flu viruses in other parts of the world and pick the three most likely to be causing illness in our part of the world in the next flu season. Those three are then made into vaccines to include in the "regular" flu shot. It is called a trivalent vaccine, because it contains three types of flu vaccines. Usually they predict very well in choosing the right viruses to use in the vaccines, but sometimes something totally unexpected comes along from a rapid mutation that is not in the vaccine (like with the 2009 Pandemic swine flu).
