2002 JUL 9 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The 2001-02 influenza season was mild to moderate in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Influenza A (H3N2) viruses predominated, but influenza B viruses were identified more frequently toward the end of the season.

Outbreaks of influenza B continue to be reported, especially among school-age children. An influenza B strain that had not been detected in the United States since 1990 began to circulate again during the past season. Therefore, the influenza B component of the influenza vaccine will be updated for the 2002-03 season.
