AS03-adjuvanted H7N9 inactivated split virion vaccines induce cross-reactive and protective responses in ferrets
Abstract Human infections with avian H7N9 subtype influenza viruses are a major public health concern and vaccines against H7N9 are urgently needed for pandemic preparedness. In early 2013, novel H7N9 influenza viruses emerged in China that caused about 1600 human cases of infection with a high asso...
