An inactivated multivalent influenza A virus vaccine is broadly protective in mice and ferrets

Good news! Hopefully, it will be available to humans soon!

"A “universal” vaccine for influenza A virus (IAV) is a high priority to protect against seasonal epidemics and for pandemic preparedness. Here, [researchers]  developed a multivalent, inactivated whole-virus vaccine for IAV. The vaccine included four IAV subtypes that conferred protection against multiple antigenically distinct and fully heterosubtypic IAV strains in mice and ferrets. These data support further clinical development of this vaccine."
