    Test-confirmed influenza outcomes provide a specific measure of influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) and has helped to illustrate the potential benefit of cell-based versus egg-based vaccines.1 So what data support improved VE from cell-based flu vaccines versus egg-based vaccines? To learn more, join Dr. Jennifer Caudle as she speaks with Dr. Victoria A. Statler, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Louisville and the Director of the Pediatric Transplant and Immunocompromised Host service at Norton Children’s Hospital.

Maximizing Flu Protection: The Clinical Value of Cell-Based Vaccines

Guess what? The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had a unanimous vote in favor of a preferential recommendation of vaccines for the cool adults who are 65 and older—one of these options is adjuvanted influenza vaccines.1 Talk about a milestone in the world of public health! Now the burning question is why on earth did they decide on adjuvant vaccines? Let's unravel this immunization mystery together, shall we?

Vax Myths Unveiled: Navigating Flu Vaccine Misconceptions

Several factors impact vaccine effectiveness from year to year. One of them is the phenomenon of strain mismatch which may result from egg adaptation during the egg-based influenza vaccine manufacturing process.1 So what exactly is the process of egg-adaptation? Gather your esteemed colleagues from far and wide, and tune into this episode of World of Tomorrow to learn more. Reference:  Rajaram S, Boikos C, Gelone DK, Gandhi A.
