The biggest weapon against all types of flu could be a synthetic universal vaccine squirted into the nose.
A pioneering research from the University of Adelaide Research claims it is a step closer to the universal flu vaccine that can be dropped or squirted into the nose.
Darren Miller, who carried out the research along with his colleagues, led the synthetic flu vaccine trials successfully in mice.
Elaborating on the study, he said, "Current flu vaccines depend on being able to predict the forthcoming viral strain, and reformulate each year. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, and it’s something a universal vaccine could overcome.”
