title: Update on influenza vaccines.
abstract: Vaccination has been the most effective means for control of viral infections for centuries. While seasonal vaccines have been highly effective in the management of influenza, there are a number of obstacles to the development of safe and effective pandemic influenza vaccines. The good news is that there has been a lot of investment into novel approaches including reverse genetics and whole cell vaccines that hold promise for successful pandemic control if they can be rolled out in time.
