The flu virus causes a respiratory
illness, which is characterized by an abrupt onset of fever,
muscle soreness, sore throat and nonproductive cough. It can
cause severe malaise lasting several days.
The 201112 U.S. seasonal
influenza vaccine virus strains are identical to those contained
in the 201011 vaccine. These include A/California/7/2009
(H1N1)-like, A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like, and
B/Brisbane/60/2008-like antigens. The influenza A (H1N1) vaccine
virus strain is derived from a 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1)
virus.While everyone is now
recommended to receive influenza vaccine, high-risk patients:
pregnant women, those with asthma, diabetes, or other chronic
conditions, remain at risk for serious complications from
influenza. CDC, and state and local public health agencies, will
continue to reinforce efforts to emphasize the crucial
importance of vaccine for these groups while simultaneously
promoting annual influenza vaccination for everyone in the
community.
