Immune-mediated attenuation of influenza illness after infection: opportunities and challenges

Summary: Sterilising immunity that blocks infection for life, and thus prevents illness after infection, is the ultimate goal for vaccines. Neither influenza infection nor vaccination provide sterilising immunity. Mutations during influenza viral genome replication result in the emergence of viruses...
