Population effects of influenza vaccination in children and adolescents: Systematic review
To investigate indirect vaccine effectiveness (indirVE) of vaccination of children and adolescents with seasonal influenza vaccines against influenza-related outcomes occurring in other population groups.
Molecular basis of 60 years of antigenic evolution of human influenza A(H3N2) virus neuraminidase
Human influenza A viruses escape antibody-mediated immunity through changes in the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) glycoproteins.
New analysis indicates that vaccines greatly reduce hospitalisations for flu and COVID-19
A new modelling study from RespiCompass, the ECDC Respiratory Diseases Scenario Modelling Hub, indicates that influenza and COVID-19 vaccination programmes markedly reduced hospitalisations among older adults across Europe in the 2024/25 season.
Vaccination is vital to cardiovascular prevention, say heart specialists
The Society has published a Clinical Consensus Statement in the European Heart Journal highlighting the key role of vaccination in preventing cardiovascular events.
Anti-neuraminidase and anti-HA stalk antibodies reduce the susceptibility to and infectivity of influenza A/H3N2 virus
Immune responses against neuraminidase (NA) and hemagglutinin (HA) are critical for developing effective influenza vaccines, yet their role in influenza transmission remains unclear.
