Flu Vaccine Research

Right now, the world is consumed with efforts to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. But it’s important to remember another serious disease. Depending on the strain, influenza results in between 200,000 and 800,000 hospitalizations annually in the United States and about 12,000 to 61,000 deaths. The Nebraska Center for Virology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is part of the effort to produce a more effective vaccine for influenza.
