Advances in Influenza Virus Vaccines

Dear Colleagues,

The current pandemic has greatly accelerated advances in vaccine research and production. The question that emerges at this point, however, is: Will these advances in vaccinology benefit other infectious diseases, other than COVID-19?

In recent years, we have witnessed improvements in existing influenza vaccine technologies aiming to overcome problems such as possible egg adaptation and immunosenescence, triggered mainly by lower effectiveness of influenza vaccines against the A/H3N2 influenza virus.

This Special Issue of Vaccines on “Advances in Influenza Virus Vaccines” aims to bring together the work of scientists that aim to further improve influenza vaccine technology in order to bring about greater vaccine effectiveness. Research as well as opinion papers are welcome.
