The influenza virus is in a continuous state of mutation. Each year different strains become prominent. If the educated guesses of the disease control folks are accurate, they can produce a vaccine that will be aligned with the proteins on all of the most common strains for a given year. Occasionally they get it wrong and the vaccine is only effective against a fraction of the most common strains. Because the strains are different from year to year, the previous year's vaccination is not very likely to provide immunity for the currently most common strains.
