No. The flu vaccine begins production a year before flu season. What is used that year is based on prediction a year out of what next seasons flu will be. Ask your friendly finance guy how accurate prediction models are as you throw a dart into the future. Historically the prediction has a poor record with actual experience.

The treatment should match the risk. If you are older or at increased risk for other reasons, well maybe doesn't hurt offers some chance at benefit. You do you.
