Influenza 2013: Epidemiology, Vaccines and Threats

Symposium - New York City, United States

Influenza continues to confound us with the continual evolution of the virus and emergence of new influenza viruses from the animal reservoir. Vaccines have been improved to broaden response with quadrivalent vaccines, low efficacy has been addressed with increased antigen content in vaccines. A new vaccine which contains only the main surface antigen has been approved by the FDA. Synthetic vaccines are being developed in plant systems.
