Countries with established seasonal influenza vaccination programs were significantly better prepared to deploy COVID-19 vaccines.

Vaccine-induced immunity was consistent across species, supporting the translatability of the mouse model findings to cattle.

Findings suggest broad protection induced by the CSL Seqirus pandemic vaccine against contemporary clade 2.3.4.4b A(H5N1) viruses.

Under the theme, “For every generation, vaccines work”, the World Immunization Week will promote how vaccines have safely protected people, families and communities for generations .

The EC has recently published on the Union Register of medicinal products the decision granting EU marketing authorisation for mCombriax, an mRNA vaccine to protect people aged 50 years and older against COVID-19 and seasonal influenza.

The Coalition for Life-Course Immunisation (CLCI) is launching a survey to examine adult vaccination policy, reimbursement and implementation across EU Member States.

Hosted by Cypriot MEP Michalis Hadjipantela at the European Parliament, the event brought together experts and representatives from various EU institutions.

Vaccines targeting the conserved stem region of influenza hemagglutinin (HA) may induce broad immunity and reduce reliance on strain-matched seasonal formulations.
