The first signs of influenza activity in the Netherlands during the 1999/2000 influenza season were the isolation of an influenza A (H3N2) virus in week 40 and of two more in week 43 of 1999. From week 50 onwards, a strong increase of the clinical influenza activity was observed which reached its peak in weeks 1 and 2 of 2000 and then rapidly declined. The clinical influenza activity was associated with the isolation of predominantly influenza A (H3N2) viruses. Near the end of the epidemic, influenza A (H1N1) and influenza B viruses were isolated sporadically. The antigenic properties of the influenza A (H3N2) viruses resembled those of the epidemic strains isolated in the previous season and the vaccine strain A/Sydney/5/97. This influenza season, influenza B viruses did not play a significant role and they matched the vaccine strain B/Yamanashi/166/98. In addition, a small number of influenza A (H1N1) viruses were isolated. Some of these viruses resembled the old variant of influenza A (H1N1) viruses, A/Bayern/7/95, whilst others showed a close antigenic relationship with the vaccine strain recommended for the next influenza season, A/New Caledonia/20/99. For the influenza season 2000/'01, it is recommended by the World Health Organization that the vaccines contain the following (or similar) virus strains: A/Moscow/10/99 (H3N2), A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1) and B/Beijing/184/93.
