CDC Announces Influenza Vaccine Makeup For Next Season.

reported that in its June 5 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the CDC announced that it has “ramped up next season’s” influenza vaccines “for broader protection.” The vaccines “for the coming flu season will contain two influenza type A viruses – H1N1...and last year’s virulent H3N2 – plus an influenza B component, according to the CDC researchers.” Those strains are the ones that “appear to be circulating in the United States and around the world, and they’re expected to be the main strains in the 2015-2016 flu season...said” CDC epidemiologist Lynnette Brammer. http://consumer.healthday.com/public-health-information-30/centers-for-disease-control-news-120/cdc-tweaking-flu-vaccine-for-a-better-responsec-says-700112.html
