Flu Season Was One of Mildest on Record, CDC Confirms

Date:6/7/2012

uring the 2009 pandemic a total of 348 children died, and there were 67 deaths during the 2008-2009 season.

The most common flu virus this season was influenza A (H3N2). But, influenza A (H1N1), the pandemic virus from 2009, and influenza B viruses also circulated widely.

Most of these virus strains were similar to those included in this year's vaccine. In addition, antiviral drugs were effective against these strains, the CDC researchers noted.

The CDC urges everyone to get an annual flu shot because it is the most effective way of preventing flu. Vaccination is recommended for almost everyone aged 6 months or older.
