"There is this mutation seen in this H3N2 which is why it's gotten its own name under 'subclade K' as kind of the other medical terminology but I think the worry is that is there enough mutations in this virus which we see influenza do which is kind of drift into new versions of influenzas which when there is enough mutations we worry about the vaccine efficacy," said Luis Alberto Rubio, Assistant Professor of UCSF Infectious Diseases.
