Beta Lifescience Highlights 2020 seasonal flu HA proteins

Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes of flu infection can result in hospitalization or death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk of serious flu complications.  There are two main types of influenza (flu) virus: Types A and B. The influenza A and B viruses that routinely spread in people (human influenza viruses) are responsible for seasonal flu epidemics each year.

What’s new in 2020 flu season?

WHO released the Recommended composition of influenza virus vaccines for use in the 2020 southern hemisphere influenza season. It is recommended that trivalent influenza vaccines for use in the 2020 southern hemisphere influenza season contain the following:
 

• an A/Brisbane/02/2018 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus;

• an A/South Australia/34/2019 (H3N2)-like virus; and

• a B/Washington/02/2019-like (B/Victoria lineage) virus.
