Hi Carol,

I have wondered about this myself, as I have received many transfusions in the past. When I asked my doctor about this, they thought the antibodies would decrease over time, but they weren't entirely sure. Maybe that is why you must get a new flu shot every year, even if it is for the same strain.

Let us know what you hear on this topic!

Hope you are doing well.
