Actually, vaccines are for viruses. Flu is caused by a bacteria and viruses. And they can't be prevented with a vaccine.

You've obviously never learned anything about vaccines. Flu is caused by a bacteria and viruses. Vaccines are made against viruses. A virus is a particle made out of DNA or RNA and protein. Bacteria have no DNA or RNA.
Vaccines make antibodies to fight viruses. Antibodies can't fight bacteria.

No, I haven't. But I know that they can prevent some diseases (like polio).
