predicting the strains for vaccine production. The question I researched in this experiment is whether or not there is a significant correlation between the degree of match between the strains of Influenza and the vaccine (measured as the percentage of matching amino acids of the flu virus and its vaccine)‚ and the overall effectiveness of the vaccine. I used the U.S. Center for Disease Control website to find the most common flu strains sub typed during each season between 2001 and 2013‚ and the vaccines

Flu is an acute infectious disease. It is most often observed in the autumn-winter period. A special kind of viruses that transmits through airborne droplets can induce it. Influenza is a dangerous disease. It can lead to serious consequences in the case of improper treatment. That is why medicine has developed many ways to prevent the flu. And the most effective of them is vaccination. In the modern world‚ flu vaccines become available. Still‚ there are concerns about the quality of these vaccines
