*HI, hemagglutination inhibition assay; MN, microneutralization assay.
†Samples with titers >32 by HI or >40 by MN,
‡For data consistency, samples from only North West, South West, and North East regions were included in this analysis because these regions also were among the 5 regions in pre– and post–third wave samples.
§Numbers by region describe total available number of samples (all analyzed at least by HI assay).
