Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Virology
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Influenza remains a significant public health concern, necessitating effective prevention strategies.
  • Current influenza vaccination recommendations target individuals aged 65 and older, and those at high risk of complications.
  • Monitoring of influenza virus antigenic variants and novel subtypes is essential for vaccine efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current influenza prevention methods and vaccine efficacy.
  • To discuss ongoing research in influenza vaccine development, including live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIV).
  • To highlight the importance of antigenic match between vaccine and circulating strains.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on influenza vaccines and their efficacy.
  • Analysis of data on antigenic and genetic characteristics of circulating influenza viruses.
  • Evaluation of immune correlates of protection and vaccine recipient serum testing.

Main Results:

  • Licensed trivalent, inactivated influenza vaccines show 70-90% efficacy in young, healthy populations with a close antigenic match.
  • Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) demonstrated high efficacy rates in young children (96% against H3N2, 91% against Influenza B).
  • Limited comparative data exists for trivalent ca live vaccine versus inactivated vaccines.

Conclusions:

  • Influenza immunization is a key preventive measure, with specific recommendations for older adults and at-risk groups.
  • Continuous monitoring and analysis of influenza viruses guide vaccine updates.
  • Development of novel vaccines, such as LAIV, holds promise for improved influenza prevention, potentially leading to revised recommendations.
