The shot needs to secure against three or four particular infections, each with their own remarkable hereditary profile, and frequently the yearly expectation is off. Prompt the naysayers. And they’re not wrong. Why is it so difficult to know what sort of vaccine to make? What's more, how might we improve? The flu is a sneaky little devil Influenza viruses are tricky. Unlike more stable diseases, the flu is constantly morphing into ever-so-slightly different forms to evade our annual vaccine campaigns. This is at the core of our need for an annual shot—there’s always a new genetic variant. It’s somewhat akin to antibiotic resistance. Viruses tend to have more genetic mutations because their replication method is prone to errors. To more complex organisms, constant mutations would be problematic (it only takes a few key ...
