Influenza viruses pose a significant public health threat, causing seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics with substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Tissue repair programs must function alongside antiviral immunity to restore the lung epithelial barrier following infection. In response to influenza or viral mimic challenge, mice lacking OSM exhibited heightened IFN-I responses and increased mortality.

It is necessary to increase knowledge about the safety and effectiveness of influenza vaccination during pregnancy to improve awareness among patients and healthcare professionals and increase to increase vaccination coverage.

Annual vaccination with LAIV4 or IIV4 remains the best way to protect children against influenza infection.

Seasonal influenza activity is low. Nationally, during Week 23, the percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza virus in clinical laboratories was 1.7%.

The technology provides a universal solution to respiratory viruses, regardless of an individual's immune history – for example, people who do not sufficiently respond to a vaccine, or don't get vaccinated

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) pose a significant public health threat, with host factors play-ing a crucial role in disease severity.

This group will lead the development of a Call to Action to advocate for better access to treatments, in particular COVID- 19.
