The current viruses that are dangerous to humans are types A and B. Every year, specialists observe the diffusion of stem as well as the mutation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/lifelove\/coaching-lifelove\/le-stress-aussi-contagieux-que-le-rhume-30663.html#post-30663\">the flu virus<\/a> to identify those who will be most susceptible during the next epidemic. The three most vulnerable groups are then incorporated into the flu vaccine. This year, we still find the stem H1N1 (the famous flu A), along with H3N2 and M2. The vaccine had, almost exactly, the same composition as last year. Some specialists say that it is important to be vaccinated annually as the protection does not exceed one year.<\/p> <p><em>Maureen Diament<\/em><\/p>  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year, without fail, the flu makes an appearance.
