The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will host a
three-hour educational program for the media to learn more about ongoing
government research efforts to develop and apply new technologies in the
making of seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines. The flu vaccines we
use today are extraordinarily safe and have helped protect millions
against influenza, but current egg-based technologies are outdated.
There are increasing opportunities for new technologies to help better
meet both seasonal influenza vaccine and pandemic preparedness and
response needs. In these sessions, attendees will hear from and be able
to question a number of HHS’ top experts on current research efforts,
advanced development support, and the regulatory science being applied
to help transform vaccine technologies to support rapid, flexible and
reliable approaches to influenza and other emerging threats.
