In a recent study, researchers examined how repeated vaccination for influenza in children may increase antibodies that protect against other strains of influenza and how that association changes with age....
In a recent study, researchers examined how the disease burden, clinical significance, and impact of noninfluenza respiratory virus infections compared to those of adults hospitalized with influenza.
Because the association between influenza and the risk of fractures and fall injuries among older adults is unclear, a team of researchers assessed this relationship. Their results were presented in...
In this study, participants had received the identical influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus intranasally at an approximate 1-year interval. Researchers then evaluated for sequential infection. These findings may...
Increased illnesses caused by an antigenic drift in A(H3N2) clade 3C.3a viruses were reported during the latter part of the 2018-2019 influenza season. This prompted a team of researchers to evaluate the...
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly half of the flu-related hospitalizations during the 2019-2020 influenza season so far have been associated with influenza B infections.

The influenza season has started earlier in 2019 than it has in 15 years, with a significant prevalence of illness in the South. The increased activity is being driven mostly by the influenza B/Victoria...
Understanding the barriers to influenza vaccination is key to improving annual vaccination rates and reducing the burden of influenza. In a new study, researchers analyzed survey data to better understand...
