Rant on state of medical care

Many of you know that the Winter Flu had struck me down over Christmas and New Year. I'm recovering now and the higher brain functions are starting to come back online. So I visited wikipedia for the lowdown on Influenza (Known as viral fever in India, don't ask me why) and what I read there is really pissing me off. Seems that there is a vaccine for this little bug. What the frak? I've suffered this darn disease for most of my life during every single winter and somehow no one in the medical fraternity informed me of this vaccine. Ever. Is the state of medicine in India really so bad that we can't get around to vaccine for a virus that infects a large percentage of the population every year? Maybe i'm missing something....someone tell me that i'm off target about this.
