The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved this year's seasonal influenza vaccines that include new strains of the virus likely to cause flu in the U.S. during the 2008-2009 season. Approval information and specific indications can be found on the FDA website. This season's vaccines contain three strains of the influenza virus that disease experts expect to be the most likely cause of the flu in the U.S. Two of the three strains recommended for the U.S. this year are now in use for the Southern Hemisphere's 2008 influenza season, which is currently underway. Vaccination remains the cornerstone of preventing influenza.
