I guess people just need to be able to equate this vaccine to the flu shot.

Is the flu shot actually categorized as a vaccine? It's just always been called the flu shot, never really thought about it before.

I guess the vaccine category is way more broad than I thought it was. Having to get it every year doesn't seem like a "vaccine" to me. But I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again.
