Influenza vaccine selection dates

Help and Getting Started
1

in the seasonal-flu github repository, the vaccine.json file contains the selection dates , seasonal-flu/config/h3n2/vaccine.json at master · nextstrain/seasonal-flu · GitHub .

For this egg-based vaccine variant , the date in json is

"A/Darwin/9/2021-egg": {
            "vaccine": {
                "selection_date": "2022-09-23"
            }
        },

However according to info on Crick institute -WIC and WHO recommendation WHO website , this variant was recommended in 2021-09-24 , the same date as “A/Darwin/6/2021” . Was this a mistake or intentional change?

Hi @adalisan, that is definitely a mistake! Thank you for pointing it out. We have updated the JSON file to use the correct date.
