First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This early-stage study tested a new way to make a flu vaccine that might protect against many different flu strains, not just one. Researchers gave an H5N1 flu shot to 32 adults, some of whom had previously received other experimental flu vaccines. The goal was to see if this 'prime-boost' approach could safely create a stronger, broader immune response.
