Abstract
The data in this study indicate that antigenic drift is not the primary determinant of the epidemic wave at the end of the 2016-2017 season. The fitness changes in new variants, waning immunity and climatic changes are considered as possible contributors to the resurgence of the influenza A(H3N2) virus.
