I keep hearing I should get a flu shot to help prevent bird flu — but I thought flu shots only prevented illness from the particular strains the shot was designed for. Does getting a traditional flu shot do anything to prevent bird flu transmission?

Getting all possible vaccines has a high potential to indirectly help in that: you become less likely to die or encounter serious ailments if you happen to get infected from the bird flu and any other endemic diseases such as covid, influenza, etc.
In games for example getting both paralyzed and poisoned means your chances of dying or having permanent long-term debuffs is more likely than if you had poison and/or paralysis immunity.
