Figure 2

Relationship between the epidemiological severity (as measured by the Severity Index) and the genetic drift of influenza (as measured by the mean Hamming distance between a season and the previous one). Each row represents a type/subtype and each column a different definition of the antigenic distance. The label next to each point indicates the starting year of the epidemic season (e.g., 2014 for the 2014/2015 season). The size of the point is proportional to the vaccine effectiveness observed that year for a given type/subtype.
