Antigenic drift involves minor changes in the influenza virus antigens due to point mutations, typically leading to mild and limited disease. Antigenic shift, on the other hand, results from a major change in the influenza virus antigen due to reassortment of genetic material, often leading to more severe disease and higher mortality because the population has little to no immunity against the new virus.
