#1 The 2018-2019 trivalent flu vaccines protect against:

A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus

A/Singapore/INFIMH-16-0019/2016 A(H3N2)-like virus (updated)

B/Colorado/06/2017-like (Victoria lineage) virus (updated)

Given that (H1N1)pdm09 seems to be the most prevalent, this year's vaccine seems to be a better fit than last year's.

Good to know, Crash Dark Lord of the Veal Cutlets1879. Thank you. I finally was healthy enough to get my shot two days ago.

Going back to the article, how many of those nineteen states plus New York City have a higher than average number of anti-vaxxer parents? How many have a higher than average number of illegal immigrants, whose health is already somewhat strained?

#4 TW, I was looking for the list of states but didn't see it. BTW, it will take about ten days for that vaccine to become fully effective.

#5 Thank you for looking, my dear. I’ll wash my hands a lot for the next two weeks, stay out of crowds, and hope.
