This year's Flu shot?

Earlier this flu season, I was told that I would not need to update my flu shots.
(I am a Substitute Teacher and I do try to keep my flu shots updated as often as needed. I am 44 y.o.) I hear reports saying that this year's flu strain will be more violent throughout the U.S.A.
The last flu shot-regimin I had was "the standard set" in January 2006.
Do I need an update to my currently "active" flu shots (I was told the one taken in 2006 would last me until 2008.)
Thanks for replies from MEDICALLY trained people.

You do not need the flu shot. It has mercury in it and other toxins. You are better of taking the chance of getting the flu naturally.

it is my belief that you need to be vaccinated every year and i am not aware of any vaccine for the flu being good for 2 yrs. I am an Rn

I am a 46-year-old healthcare teaching assistant who also substitute teaches. Every November I get a flu immunization compliments of the school I work at. I also hear every year that the flu strain will be more virulent than it was the previous year. It's my understanding that in America (I'm assuming you're here in America), flu immunizations are given in November, before the start of the flu season.

Like the other poster, I'm not aware of a flu immunization good for 2 years.
