An experimental flu vaccine consisting of billions of tiny spherical sacs that carry infection-fighting proteins throughout the body has proven effective in preclinical studies.
Described in a study published May 24 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the vaccine has the potential to:
Improve the effectiveness of seasonal flu vaccines, which typically work 40-60% of the time, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Take less time to produce large quantities because, unlike most seasonal flu vaccines, it is not created in embryonated chicken eggs.
Use smaller doses, thereby increasing vaccine supplies, which can be critical given the unpredictable nature of influenza.
