3 As an FYI, early indicators are that this season's influenza vaccine matched really well with the circulating influenza strains. This is from the ODH website: Influenza Virus Characterization: CDC has characterized 91 influenza viruses [18 A (H1N1)pdm09, 57 A (H3N2), and 16 influenza B viruses] collected by U.S. laboratories since October 1, CDC has characterized 375 influenza viruses [17 A (H1N1)pdm09, 277 A (H3N2), and 81 influenza B virus] collected by U.S. laboratories from May 24 September 30,2015. To date, all but one of the viruses that have been characterized have been found to be genetically similar to the viruses included in the influenza vaccine. As a reminder, if you have anyone, child or adult, who needs their influenza vaccine, we do have the vaccine in stock and we still have FluMist! Feel free to refer anyone interested in getting their vaccine to our clinic by calling Special announcements Need homework help?
