Breakthrough in Flu Vaccine Development by Stanford Researchers

Credited from: SFGATE

  • Researchers at Stanford University have developed a method to enhance the seasonal flu vaccine's effectiveness against multiple strains.
  • By integrating four molecules from the standard vaccine, the new approach aims to improve immunity to varied flu virus strains.
  • The study revealed that traditional vaccines have an effectiveness range of only 20% to 80% in recent years.
  • This innovation could potentially extend to strains responsible for bird flu, addressing a critical concern for future viral pandemics.
  • The findings were published in a study in Science on Dec. 19, and suggest a way to overcome inherent biases in individual immune responses.
