Medically speaking, the account is strangely incomplete, especially since the specific strain wasn't mentioned. The USA annual influenza vaccine only includes 2 or 3 strains, and those are selected many months before flu season. It's guesswork at best. I've never even heard of them reworking a given year's vaccine even when they know the choices were inappropriate for the actual vectors that year.
