A research team led by McMaster University scientist Matthew Miller has taken one step closer to developing an effective, 'one-punch' flu vaccine.While flu shots remain the best way to protect against the virus, how well a flu vaccine works each year depends on the health and age of the person being vaccinated, the similarity between seasonal vaccine viruses and circulating viruses, and whether a live or inactivated vaccine was used.A universal flu vaccine, such as the one proposed by Dr. Miller and co-authors, could effectively prevent mismatches, since it would protect against all flu strains, and the occurrence of flu pandemics.
