2019 Australia Influenza Season Review by Jehad Batta is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The 2019 influenza season in Australia was notably severe, with a record 312,978 lab-confirmed cases and 902 deaths, marking it as one of the highest activity seasons on record. The predominant strains were A(H3N2) and A(H1N1)pdm, leading to significant hospital admissions and extended influenza activity from March to October. Looking ahead to 2020, the vaccine composition has been updated, and predictions suggest a quieter year with H1N1pdm viruses likely to predominate.
