Warning: I do use the word 'simple' as a relative description of the process compared to making the original simple for brilliant medical scientists that is.

It isn't what they do with the flu vaccine every year by the way. The flu vaccine is based on the most prevalent strain of flu in the Southern Hemisphere during their winter. More often than not, that strain is one for which a long established vaccine exists.
