Flu vaccines headed for the trash

So if you're reading this then you've obviously survived the flu season. But whether you spent the winter miserably sick, or squeaked through flu-free, the over-all picture is that this years flu numbers were quite a bit lower than expected -- which means there are a whole lot of flu vaccines set to expire and headed for the trash.

The sad part about this is that although the expiration date says they're no good, in reality experts say they're probably still effective for another year or longer -- which means we're headed for serious frustration if next year we have a worse-than-expected flu season and end up with vaccine shortages instead of excess.
