- 3.3X more influenza type B viruses than influenza type A viruses in week to 9th August
- a proportion of the influenza viruses were further genotyped
- 44% of that proportion were influenza B viruses of the Victoria lineage which is not the lineage in the trivalent vaccine this year (it is in the quadrivalent vaccine though - see full report for detail)
- NOTE - the report is not clear on how many genotyped specimens this represents
- As you can see in the figure below - the 'flu season is still very much underway in Brisbane
- Brisbane is also experiencing its own little 'mass gathering' which started last Friday - the Brisbane Exhibition.
