Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite decades of research on influenza, highly efficacious vaccines are not always available. This has been an intense area of research. For example, as human vaccines are reformulated every year and carry a risk of mismatch, the creation of a universal influenza vaccine is highly desirable. Population studies continue to measure influenza vaccine efficacy in different target populations and may highlight areas that require improvement, such as vaccination in the elderly or in specific ethnic groups. In the last decade, vaccine uptake has also been a profound issue around the world, and it will be important to identify specific reasons that contribute to the choice not to vaccinate and to address these reasons. Articles related to avian influenza vaccines, improvements to vaccine production, animal/human models of influenza, and delivery methods are welcome in this Special Issue.
