Flu jab and catching flu ??

I had 'proper' flu when I was 18 and was seriously ill for nearly 4 weeks. Since then as I am asthmatic I have had the flu jab each year. Does the jab stop you from getting flu completely or do you just get it alot weaker than you would have done before the jab?
I am asking this because I have been so ill for 2 weeks now and am still no where near better. This seems abit excessive for just a virus. Is this watered down flu or a virus?
I have also been on antibiotics for 6 days so far for a secondry throat infection caused by what ever this is. My glands are still massive and painful, sore thorat, ear ache, exhaustion all still with me. Any advise on this would be great. Thanks xxx

It is somewhere between partial and complete protection.

But what you have might not be the influenza virus at all. It might be mono. Influenza is more of a body ache, high fever kind of virus.

I'm usually pretty good at shakin off flu and colds but I caught flu 5 weeks ago and I'm not completely over it yet. This one thats doing the rounds now just takes a lot of shaking off, so just be patient.
