Previously, there were triple and quadruple flu vaccinations, but starting this year, vaccinations will generally only be against two Influenza A strains and one B strain. One of the two Influenza B strains is no longer circulating because "it was eradicated by the pandemic measures."

This was explained by Monika Redlberger-Fritz from the Center for Virology at the Medical University of Vienna on Thursday in the Ö1-Journal at eight.

How the flu season will unfold cannot currently be predicted. At present, there is a strong rhinovirus activity, which is the classic cold, as well as Corona.
