The composition of the vaccine for year 2001-2002 (Northern Hemisphere influenza season) has been decided and communicated to vaccine manufacturers by the World Health Organization (WHO), following agreement on its content by international experts at a WHO meeting held in Geneva, Switzerland in mid-February 2001.

The experts recommended that the influenza vaccine for 2001-2002 (Northern Hemisphere) contain the following three components:

* an A/New Caledonia/20/99(H1N1)-like virus

* an A/Moscow/10/99(H3N2)-like virus

* a B/Sichuan/379/99-like virus

Between October 2000 and February 2001, mild to moderate influenza activity was reported throughout the world. Influenza A(H1N1), A(H3N2), and B viruses continued to be isolated in the southern hemisphere, mainly from sporadic cases. In the northern hemisphere, influenza activity was initially reported during the third week of November 2000, increased in December, and continued through February 2001.
