Answer:

... The virus mutates so quickly the previous vaccine may no longer be effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because flu viruses change so quickly, last year's vaccine may not protect you from this year's viruses. New flu vaccines are released every year to keep up with rapidly changing flu viruses. When you get vaccinated, your immune system makes antibodies to protect you from the viruses included in the vaccine.

If this is multiple choice, pick the answer closest to this or tell me the choices in the comments (:
