The CDC has characterized 2,214 influenza viruses collected during October 1, 2017 - March 17, 2018, including 535 influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 viruses, 989 influenza A (H3N2) viruses, and 690 influenza B viruses.
Parents should be on high alert, as CDC officials say the "B" virus could be more severe for younger children.
With a flu season as severe as we've had experts say even if you have already had the flu this year you can still come down with a different strain later in the season.

"We're starting to see a little bit more relative Influenza B, but overall the number of flu cases is way down". "Unfortunately, we don't know what the influenza B wave will look like", she said. Chalkley says, "Some of our [23] deaths have been attributable to Influenza A while others have been attributable to Influenza B". New cases of all strains of the flu have decreased. Benson also added adding influenza B can be just as bad for adults as influenza A.

"However, because of the severity of this season, there have been questions raised about how well this year's flu vaccine worked", the FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a news release.
