10 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from 53742577711688449711, published by ncdc.mohfw.gov.in. The source is a 1-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include influenza vaccine, northern hemisphere, southern hemisphere, a/victoria/4897/2022 (h1n1)pdm09-like virus, a/victoria/2570/2019 (h1n1)pdm09-like virus, a/darwin/9/2021 (h3n2)-like virus, austria/1359417/2021 (b/victoria lineage)-like virus, b/phuket/3073/2013 (b/yamagata lineage)-like virus. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 7 factual, 2 list, 1 relationship. 3 of the 10 pairs (30.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 7 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset contains 10 extractive question-and-answer pairs derived from a single-page publication by ncdc.mohfw.gov.in. It focuses on influenza surveillance in India, vaccine composition recommendations for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the strains currently circulating in India. The data highlights the structured influenza surveillance network managed by DHR-ICMR VRDLs and the National Influenza Centre at ICMR-NIV Pune. Questions address topics such as phylogenetic analysis, vaccine composition updates, and the timeline of surveillance activities.

| What does phylogenetic analysis of influenza strains in India reveal? | the currently circulating strains of influenza viruses in India, match with both the NH 2022 & 2023 and SH 2022 vaccine composition released by WHO | the influenza surveillance is conducted through structured influenza surveillance network of DHR-ICMR VRDLs and its National Influenza Centre (WHO-NIC) housed at ICMR-NIV Pune (also a WHO CC for GISRS) since July 2021. Under the surveillance, a network of 29 sites are collecting the data and monitoring the influenza activity round the year. Phylogenetic analysis in a subset of influenza strains reveals that the currently circulating strains of influenza viruses in India, match with both the NH 2022 & 2023 and SH 2022 vaccine composition released by WHO. Currently both an A/Victoria/2570/2019 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus (NH) and an A/Sydney/5/2021 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus (SH) strains are circulating in India. It is therefore suggested that any of the available influenza vaccines (NH 2022 & 2023) and SH (2022) can be used for vaccination. | 411 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/53742577711688449711.pdf | Phylogenetic analysis in a subset of influenza strains reveals that the currently circulating strains of influenza viruses in India, match with both the NH 2022 & 2023 and SH 2022 vaccine composition released by WHO. | 1 | page=1,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
