Experts Call For Universal Flu Vaccine To End “Annual Guessing Game” Of Vaccine Components.

reported that there are early signs that the 2015-2016 influenza vaccine is more effective than last year’s supply but there is still need for a “universal flu shot” that would put an end to the “annual guessing game” of vaccine components. National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Anthony Fauci told CQ HealthBeat in an interview, “This year it looks like the match is quite good, but we still need to do better,” adding, “We don’t want to always be on pins and needles as to whether or not the match was good.” http://www.cq.com/login?jumpto=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cq.com%2Fdoc%2F4770712
