The illness is usually much less severe than Type A flu viruses. The Type B influenzavirus mutates at a slower rate (2-3X less) than Type A influenzavirus, so immunity is better achieved, although they mutate often enough to make Type B viruses a part of each seasonal flu vaccine. Type B flu viruses only infect humans, seals, and ferrets. This makes it less available for contamination of new hosts. All pandemics have been due to Type A influenzaviruses.
