Flu viruses change from year to year, which means two things. First, you can get the flu more than once during your lifetime. The immunity (natural protection that develops against a disease after a person has had that disease) that is built up from having the flu caused by one virus strain doesn't always provide protection when a new strain is circulating. Second, a vaccine made against flu viruses circulating last year may not protect against the newer viruses. That is why the influenza vaccine is updated to include current viruses every year.
Another reason to get flu vaccine every year is that after you get vaccinated your immunity declines over time and may be too low to provide protection after a year.

Flu shots are usually available beginning in October of each year and continue to be available throughout the flu season. Vaccination before December is recommended to ensure that you are protected against influenza before flu activity is typically at its highest. Once you get vaccinated, your body makes protective antibodies in about two weeks.

Many communicable diseases are more common during certain seasons of the year; for example, influenza usually occurs in the winter and early spring, as does chickenpox. Infection with Salmonella is most common in the summer but occurs all year round. Meningococcal infections tend to occur most often in winter. Some diseases are more common among young children, others in adults. When outbreaks occur, we make the information public as soon as possible so people can take whatever preventive steps are necessary.

Yes. The ability of flu vaccine to protect a person depends on two things: 1) the age and health status of the person getting vaccinated, and 2) the similarity or "match" between the virus strains in the vaccine and those circulating in the community. If the viruses in the vaccine and the influenza viruses circulating in the community are closely matched, vaccine effectiveness is higher. If they are not closely matched, vaccine effectiveness can be reduced. However, it's important to remember that even when the viruses are not closely matched, the vaccine can still protect many people and prevent flu-related complications. Such protection is possible because antibodies made in response to the vaccine can provide some protection (called cross-protection) against different, but related strains of influenza viruses.

If your death is attributable to a Service-connected cause, your surviving spouse may apply for Dependency & Indemnity Compensation (DIC), which is a monthly payment compensating your spouse for your loss. Another potential benefit, the Non-service Connected Disability Pension, is payable if you served during one of the Wartime Periods (such as WWII, Korea, etc.) and your surviving spouse’s monthly income falls below a certain amount established by the DVA. A burial benefit may be paid to a surviving spouse if at the time of your death you are in receipt of a Service-connected Disability Compensation Award; or if as the veteran, you were receiving a Non-service-connected Disability Pension, or your death occurs while you are in a VA Medical Facility.

Service at any other time, or in any other area does not qualify you for Compensation for your Diabetic condition.

To reduce the risk of illness abroad, a healthcare provider should be consulted, ideally 4 to 6 weeks before international travel. Immunizations provide protection for periods of a few months to many years, depending on the type of vaccine. It is essential for every traveler to plan ahead, because some shots are given in a series, many vaccines take time to become effective and certain other vaccines cannot be given at the same time that some medicines are being taken.
