Distinct immunological and molecular signatures underpinning influenza vaccine responsiveness in the elderly
Seasonal influenza outbreaks, especially in high-risk groups such as the elderly, represent an important public health problem. Prevailing inadequate efficacy of seasonal vaccines is a crucial bottleneck.
Respiratory syncytial virus disease burden in adults aged 60 years and older in high-income countries: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated acute respiratory infection (ARI) is an underrecognized cause of illness in older adults.
Assessment of a quadrivalent nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccine that protects against group 2 influenza viruses
Combined vaccine formulations targeting not only hemagglutinin but also other influenza virus antigens could form the basis for a universal influenza virus vaccine that has the potential to elicit long-lasting, broadly cross-reactive immune responses.

How does a virus cause disease after transmission?
In this fascinating episode pathomechanism is explained and we learn how recent research has shown that acute virus infections may cause long-term health impairments. Even mild flu during pregnancy can affect susceptibility to disease in offspring.
FluCov: combining data from around the world to understand the impact of COVID-19 on influenza activity
The FluCov Epi-Bulletin provides an overview of the number of positive cases of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and the percentage of specimens that tested positive from January 2019 onwards in 22 countries across most regions of the world.
National influenza surveillance systems in five European countries: a qualitative comparative framework based on WHO guidance
A new framework can be used to compare influenza surveillance systems qualitatively between countries to allow the identification of structural differences as well as to evaluate adherence to WHO guidance. The framework may be adapted for other infectious
