https://www.fludb.org/brc/fluStrainDetails.spg?strainName=A/Wuhan/359/95(H3N2)&decorator=influenza

The influenza vaccine is updated annually to include viruses antigenically similar to the strains of the three distinct groups of influenza viruses that are in worldwide circulation. The influenza vaccine for the 1996-97 influenza season contains A/Texas/36/91-like (H1N1), A/Wuhan/359/95-like (H3N2), and B/Beijing/184/93-like antigens (2,4). For the A/Wuhan/359/95-like and B/Beijing/184/93-like antigens, U.S. manufacturers will use the antigenically equivalent strains A/Nanchang/933/95(H3N2) and B/Harbin/07/94 viruses, respectively, because of their growth properties. Since March 1996, most influenza viruses isolated worldwide have been antigenically similar to the vaccine strains.

Pilot rescued from ocean crash off Florida by marine units training in the area

CEDAR KEY, Fla — Air and Marine Operations’ (AMO) Tampa Marine Unit alongside Citrus County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Impact Unit were conducting joint operations offshore Cedar Key, Florida on November 9, 2021. While underway, an aircraft was spotted floating in the water half a mile from the George T. Lewis Airport.

As agents and deputies approached the sinking plane, an individual was spotted climbing out and standing on the fuselage. Agents verified the pilot was the only occupant and were able to assist him onboard an AMO Coastal Interceptor Vessel.

Agents conducted an initial medical assessment of the pilot and contacted other entities for further assistance. Local Emergency Medical Services arrived on scene to conduct a more thorough evaluation of the individual.

“The situational awareness and quick actions of the Marine Interdiction Agents and Sheriff’s Deputies prevented a possible human tragedy,” said Michael Matthies, Deputy Director of Marine Operations. “We are thankful we have the proper resources and trained personnel to perform when incidents like this present themselves.”
