This is why, unless one has a legitimate medical reason (like certain allergies or a compromised immune system) not to, one should really get the flu shot each year. Yeah, it's not 100% effective, but nothing is. Yeah, it's annoying that there's a new shot each year, but that's because there's many different varieties of the influenza virus and it's one that mutates very rapidly, thus requiring different shots each year to get the right immune response, and sometimes, the prediction is off. It still makes the disease itself a bit less severe and helps to suppress the spread of it from person to person should one get sick.
