#FluFactFriday: Two types of flu viruses— A and B—cause global outbreaks in people each year. Among Influenza A viruses, there are 18 H types and 11 N types, resulting in 198 different possible influenza A subtypes. Learn more about these viruses: cdc.gov/flu/about/viru…
In a new trial taking place at sites across the U.S., NIAID-funded researchers are testing an experimental universal flu vaccine, which could protect against many types of flu. Read more: niaid.nih.gov/news-events/ni…

Influenza tops list of burden of disease and disability-adjusted life years with 30% of total burden, according to Eurosurveillance article: ecdc.europa.eu/en/news-events…
Is #flu still spreading in Europe? Yes, but it is decreasing & the #fluseason is soon coming to an end. Most countries report low #influenza activity (12% tested positive compared to 23% in previous week). Read latest flu update: flunewseurope.org
#Flu is the disease with highest impact on population health in Europe: 30% of burden of communicable diseases is due to influenza. The most important way to reduce the burden is to improve vaccination. See @Eurosurveillanc article with new estimates: bit.ly/2HzFILH
Influenza continues to circulate in Europe: - 28% of the individuals sampled tested positive - All countries report low or medium intensity - Both virus types A & B are co-circulating, with majority being type A viruses. See weekly flu data: bit.ly/2BtWHYO
