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.

How does sand silt and Clay affect soil nutrients and plants
Ghella [55]
Sand is granular and coarse meaning that water and nutrients can flow through it quite easily. Clay on the other hand has very fine particles that cling together to form a waterproof substance which traps/ stops any nutrients or water from moving down. Clay's also quite difficult for plants to get their roots into. Silt has a texture between clay and sand, meaning that it is the ideal substance as it allows the best water and nutrition movement in the soil. Most plants will grow best in silt, but there are some plants who are more adapted to living in sand (e.g. Marram grass) or clay.

frozen [14]

Answer: Layer a is 500 million years old.

Explanation:

Trilobite is a member of the group of extinct arthropods found as fossils and they can be identified by the three-lobed as well as three segmented forms. These were the marine animals. These were appeared initially in the Cambrian Period. They used to live 542 million years ago so the fossils can be estimated to be aged of 500 above years old. These animals used to dominate in the sea area.
