In 2003-2004 season an increased influenza activity has been detected earlier than in previous seasons. The predominant virus circulating in North America is similar to A/ Fujian/411/2002. In the USA CDC has antigenically characterized 108 influenza A (H3N2) viruses and found that 19 (18%) were similar antigenically to the vaccine strain A/Panama/2007/99 (H3N2), and 89 (82%) were similar to the drift variant, A/Fujian/411/2002 (H3N2). In Canada 70% of the influenza viruses antigenetically characterized (n=87) corresponded to A/Fujian/411/02(H3N2)-like.
