Abstract

Flu epidemics occur every year but some seasons, like 2017, are more severe than others. Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent flu but they are not always effective. Flu pandemics occur a few times each century, when new influenza viruses emerge from animal hosts, infect people and spread around the world. This research will examine human and animal influenza viruses and immunity to flu infection and vaccines, to improve seasonal flu vaccines and better prepare for future pandemics.
