8 April 2016 - The Australian Influenza Vaccine Committee (AIVC) has reviewed and evaluated data relating to the strains of influenza that were circulating in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere in the winter of 2015.

Based on this review, the AIVC has recommended that the TGA adopt the September 2015 WHO recommendations for the strains to be covered by the 2016 seasonal influenza vaccines. Details of the strains were announced on the TGA website on 15 October 2015.
