You can't. The only connection between flu vaccine and tobacco plants is merely that the flu and vaccines for the flu are made from influenza viruses and the first virus ever discovered in the 1880's was found on tobacco leaves in the form of the virus called Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV). It has been used since then in many medical and scientific microbiology studies and experiments to learn how to culture and grow viruses. To make flu vaccines, you must first culture and grow the virus. Tobacco Mosaic Virus was used in those studies and experiments because it was readily available, easy to culture and it is not infective to animals and that is how scientists learned how to begin to culture and grow flu viruses to make vaccines.
