Will the influenza virus mix with the avian flu this winter? how soon will the doctors know? september?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Defunct disease: Avian flu peaked many years ago and disappeared almost as quickly as it surfaced. While another similar strain may emerge, that one is gone.The vaccine for the coming season will contain representative strains now present in active circulation.
