Seroprevalence of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus antibody, England, 2010 and 2011

Emerg Infect Dis. 2012 Nov;18(11):1894-7. doi: 10.3201/eid1811.120720.

Abstract

The intense influenza activity in England during the 2010-11 winter resulted from a combination of factors. Population-based seroepidemiology confirms that the third wave of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus circulation was associated with a shift in age groups affected, with the highest rate of infection in young adults.
