The push is on for universal influenza vaccines


 

EXPERT OPINION FROM THE ANNUAL PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASES CONFERENCE

Experts all agree that it’s not a matter of "if’" another worldwide, high-mortality flu pandemic such as the one that occurred after the end of World War I will happen, it’s simply a question of "when."

"It might occur in 5 years, or it might not happen during our lifetime," according to Dr. Sullender.

He reported receiving research funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and has no relevant financial relationships.
