Virus isolated from ill crew members was antigenically distinct from the vaccination strain. With an attack rate of 42%, this outbreak demonstrates the potential for rapid spread of influenza in a confined population and the impact subsequent illness may have upon the workplace. | Source Title: | Emerging infectious diseases | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/181134 | ISSN: | 10806040 | DOI: | 10.3201/eid0703.017320 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
