H3N2v
H3N2v is a new flu virus that is currently infecting both pigs and humans in the United States, including Pennsylvania. Although rare, the virus can spread from pigs to people and from people to pigs. This new virus is different from previous H3N2 human infections because it also contains part of the 2009 H1N1 virus. It is the same virus we saw in three ill people who had all attended the Washington County Fair last year in Pennsylvania.
