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.

Why do humans, as one of many on this planet, have the greatest potential to impact all other species?
sdas [7]
Because our brains are the most developed out of all of the other species on this planet. Also, we require the most maintenance to survive. We can’t live in the ocean, such as a fish, shark, dolphin, etc. but we also can’t live in the forest such as bears, deer, coyotes, etc. we need to live in a stable environment when we will have enough food to survive as well to live in certain temperatures that are best suited for our kind. Hopefully that helped a little bit

  How does the way animal cells use their vacuoles compare to the way plant cells use theirs?
ratelena [41]
The major difference is that plants use vacuoles to store excess amounts of water, while animal cells do not. A plant standing up straight compared to a plant wilting over is a result of water capacity in the vacuoles
