Influenza A cases are increasing, and so is the severity of infections.

QUOTE:
Among other flu metrics, the CDC said nearly all of the detections are 
influenza A, and, of subtyped samples at public health labs, 59.3% were 
H3N2 and 40.7% were the 2009 H1N1 virus. The agency received reports of 
2 more pediatric flu deaths, which push the total reported this season 
to 11.
END QUOTE:

They should start tracking if the infected have been vaccinated and the 
severity of the illness.  Both the H3N2 and H1N1 antigens were included 
in the current flu vaccine, so there should be some protection.

The dairy workers were supposed to have been vaccinated for influenza A 
in order to reduce the change of recombinant virus resulting from 
coinfection with the dairy virus.
