Seasonal Flu Vaccine

The flu vaccine for 2011 contains 3 strains of deactivated viruses:

·        an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus;

·        an A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus;

·        a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus.

Last winter some patients expressed concerns regarding the inclusion of H1N1 ‘swine flu’ in the trivalent vaccine. In the event, H1N1 was the prevalent virus that caused more than 450 deaths in England. All seasonal flu vaccines this year will again contain the H1N1 strain.
