* For influenza A, mismatch accounting for at least 40% of A-viruses antigenically characterised are indicated in yellow shading. For influenza B, co-circulation or mismatch accounting for at least 40% of B-viruses antigenically characterised are indicated in dark shading

**Viruses characterised that were antigenically similar to the strains specified by the WHO, for example A/Panama/2007/99 is an A/Moscow/10/99 (H3N2)-like virus.

†As from 2013-14 WHO recommends that quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccines contain a second influenza B virus strain: in 2013-14 and 2014-15 this was a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus (VIC)

YAM = Yamagata lineage, VIC = Victoria lineage.
