New Influenza Vaccine

Influenza is a common respiratory infection. Although most cases are relatively mild, flu can cause more severe illness in young children and older people.

The risk of rare blood clotting following the COVID-19 infection is around 100 times greater than normal, several times higher than it is post-vaccination or following influenza, according to a new University of Oxford study published on Thursday.

Despite years of consistent messages from health-care providers about the dangers of the flu and the protective power (and safety) of the flu shot, many people still hold false beliefs about both.

Women who receive a seasonal influenza vaccination during pregnancy may have over 50 per cent less risk of experiencing a stillbirth than unvaccinated mothers, according to a new study.

In a major advance towards a universal flu jab which would protect people against all strains of the virus, researchers have developed a new vaccine that protects against multiple strains of both seasonal and pandemic H1N1 influenza in mouse models.

Scientists have developed a novel vaccine strategy that reduces the risk of flu infections in cancer patients at highest risk for influenza.

Big drugmakers are seeking a boost from new four-in-one influenza vaccines that will be available for the first time this flu season.

Procedures to fast-track approvals of new vaccines to combat H1N1 influenza do not reduce safety, the World Health Organization said.

According to the World Health Organization the new H1N1 virus is 'unstoppable'. It gave drug makers a full go-ahead to manufacture vaccines against the pandemic influenza strain.
