My understanding is that flu vaccines aren't aimed at healthy adults, who can usually fight off flu symptoms themselves. Generally, widespread vaccination of adults protects infants, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems from getting the flu from adults, since it is more deadly in those populations. Whether or not healthy adults can avoid flu symptoms with a vaccine isn't the primary concern from a public health perspective, even though that appeared to be the sole population studied in the systematic review.
