This Year's Flu Vaccine May Have Been 'Mismatched,' WHO Expert Warns - The Daily Beast

A leading influenza epidemiologist has called into question whether the World Health Organization has chosen the correct influenza strains to target with this year’s vaccine. The WHO’s so-called strain-selection committee meets twice a year to study trends to determine which four varieties to include in the four-in-one shot based on global flu trends.
