It certainly is a significant part of what we've seen in recent times. I mean last year's flu season was record breaking, over 500,000 cases and more than 1,700 deaths. They're very concerning figures and part of that will be the emergence of subclade K or Super-K but also a big part of that will be under-vaccination.Professor Paul Griffin, Director of Infectious Diseases, Mater Hospital in Brisbane
