The flu vaccine changes every year. The flu vaccine is based on a predicted strain that is anticipated to be the most infectious that year. Thats why people who sometimes get the vaccination still get the flu, they don't have the antibodies for the strain they were infected with.  Strains for viral disease don't change very much and usually the vaccination for them cover them well.

Answer:

The flu resulting due to influenza viruses get change due to a phenomenon termed as antigenic drift. These are the minor mutations or variations in the genes of the influenza virus, which can result in the modifications in the virus's surface proteins.  

It is because of the antigenic drift that an individual becomes vulnerable to infection of flu again, as antigenic drift has modified the virus to such an extent that the prevailing antibodies of the individual would not recognize and neutralize the newly formed influenza viruses.  

Thus, antigenic drift is the prime cause that why an individual gets the flu more than one time, and it is the main reason for reviewing the composition of the flu vaccine and is updated every year to overcome the infections caused by influenza viruses. This is why vaccinations of influenza virus are given every year.

Humming birds have specialiazed beaks that are very long and thin how does this structure of a hummingbirds beak make it more su
dangina [55]
The reason why humming birds need long beaks is to be able to get the nectar from the flowers, kind of like how we need straws to drink out of to go cups. Humming birds also have very long tongues that also help this process. Since humming birds beaks help them get the food they need, it makes them more successful in their environment.

Why does conduction occur more easily in solids and liquids, than in gases?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Because liquids and solids are denser than gasses.

Explanation:

Solids and liquids are denser than gasses making it easier for things like sound to conduct through them. Being dense contributes to a better conduction because the particles and such within the solid or liquid are closer together which allows for things like sound to travel at a much faster rate because they're so much easier to vibrate.
