       SUMMARY - The CDC has estimated that this year's flu vaccine has
       been 42% effective against the flu strains circulating. This
       percentage is better than others in recent years. The CDC is
       also considering dropping the "B/Yamagata" component to the
       quadrivalent (meaning a vaccine protecting against 4 flu
       strains) vaccine and reducing the vaccine down to a trivalent
       (protecting against 3 strains). The reason for dropping
       "B/Yamagata" is that it has not been seen since the 2020 flu
       season.
