Fluwatch Summary

May 21 – June 17, 2017 (weeks 21-24)

  • Influenza activity has crossed the seasonal threshold indicating the end of the 2016-17 influenza season, although regions across the country continue to report low-level circulation of influenza.
  • In weeks 21-24, influenza B continued to be the predominant circulating influenza virus in Canada. The majority of influenza B viruses characterized this season are similar to the strain included only in the quadrivalent influenza vaccine for 2016-17.
