Effective influenza vaccines for children
Seasonal influenza causes clinical illness and hospitalization in all age groups; however, conventional inactivated vaccines have only limited efficacy in young children. MF59(®), an oil-in-water emulsion adjuvant, has been used since the 1990s to enhance the immunogenicity of influenza vaccines in the elderly, a population with waning immune function due to immunosenescence. Clinical trials no...
متن کاملUniversal influenza vaccines: Shifting to better vaccines
Influenza virus causes acute upper and lower respiratory infections and is the most likely, among known pathogens, to cause a large epidemic in humans. Influenza virus mutates rapidly, enabling it to evade natural and vaccine-induced immunity. Furthermore, influenza viruses can cross from animals to humans, generating novel, potentially pandemic strains. Currently available influenza vaccines i...

متن کاملTowards universal influenza vaccines?
Vaccination is the most cost-effective way to reduce the considerable disease burden of seasonal influenza. Although seasonal influenza vaccines are effective, their performance in the elderly and immunocompromised individuals would benefit from improvement. Major problems related to the development and production of pandemic influenza vaccines are response time and production capacity as well ...
متن کاملToward improved influenza vaccines.
Influenza takes a large toll on human health, particularly in the elderly population. The current unadjuvanted trivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (TIVs) are notorious for modest-to-dismal efficacy among elderly individuals. Protection by TIV is limited largely to the 3 or 4 strains chosen for each influenza season. The drifts in circulating strains mean that annual receipt of TIV is recom...
