Yes they do @Omegapoint, which is why they recommend getting the shot in October BEFORE the flu season really gets going.
You wait for the middle of winter and you may well get fucked. The thing with the flu shot is that they have to guess what will be prevalent the next year AND a lot of people have resistance (exactly as they do with Covid) because strains come around again.
If you have some existing immunity (and as I've pointed out 80% do) then for THOSE people they probably still have a decent amount of protection -- but for them the shot was wasted anyway. However, if you're in the 20% and get infected during that antibody build time you may well be fucked and done.
