A group 1 hemagglutinin stem vaccine elicits broad humoral responses against influenza in ... A total of 197 adult participants aged 18 to 45 were screened for eligibility. 170 participants were enrolled in the study between May 31st, 2023 and August 25th, 2023 and were part of the full analysis set, having received at least one dose of study vaccine or placebo (Fig. 1a). Enrollment was executed using a staggered approach, with safety evaluations in place before extending enrollment in Cohort 1 and progressing to Cohort 2 (Supplementary Fig. 1). Participants were randomly assigned into three groups in Cohort 1, and five groups in Cohort 2, to receive either one or two doses of G1 mHA at two different dose levels (45 µg low dose or 135 µg high dose), with or without Al(OH)3. Vaccinations were given on Day 1 and Day 57, and participants were followed up until 1 year after the first vaccination (Fig. 1b). Participant characteristics at baseline were balanced across the seven treatment groups in FLZ1001 (Supplementary Table 1). Among all participants, the median age was 34 years, 75.9% were white, 60% were not Hispanic or Latino, and 52.4% were female. The median body mass index (BMI) was 28 kg/m2 and 39.4% of participants had a BMI of ≥30 kg/m2...

Insights from the Southern Hemisphere (September 2025) and Northern Hemisphere (February 2026) Vaccine Composition Meetings and On 30 March 2026, the World Health Organization Regional Office for South‑East Asia (WHO SEARO) convened a regional webinar that brought together experts from WHO’s Global Influenza Programme (GIP), WHO Country Offices, National Influenza Centres (NICs) in SEAR Member States and WHO Collaborating Centres for Influenza Research and Reference (WHOCCs) in Melbourne and Tokyo. The session focused on reviewing recent developments in influenza surveillance, virological trends and the global vaccine composition determination process, with particular attention to the 2026 Southern Hemisphere vaccine and the 2026–2027 Northern Hemisphere vaccine. The discussion highlighted the continued importance of strong coordination across global, regional, and national levels to ensure that influenza surveillance systems remain responsive, resilient, and aligned with evolving influenza virus characteristics and global risk assessments. Participants of the Regional webinar. Photo credit PEM/WHE/SEARO Operating in a Complex and Changing Environment Opening the session, Dr Nilesh Buddha, Regional Emergency Director (RED) and Acting Director of Programme Management (DPM) at WHO SEARO, emphasized that influenza surveillance systems are increasingly operating under complex conditions, including financial constraints and competing public health priorities. Despite these challenges, countries across the region have maintained strong performance on key surveillance indicators and have continued regular and consistent reporting, reflecting...

Weekly US Influenza Surveillance Report: Key Updates for Week 13, ending April 4, 2026 Viruses Illness All data are preliminary and may change as more reports are received. Directional arrows indicate changes between the current week and the previous week. Additional information on the arrows can be found at the bottom of this page. A description of the CDC influenza surveillance system, including methodology and detailed descriptions of each data component is available on the surveillance methods page. Additional information on the current and previous influenza seasons for each surveillance component are available on FluView Interactive. Key Points Seasonal influenza activity continues to decrease in most areas of the country. Influenza A activity is low across all HHS regions while the amount of and trends in influenza B activity vary by region. Influenza A(H3N2) viruses are the most frequently reported influenza viruses overall this season. Among 2,166 influenza A(H3N2) viruses collected since September 28, 2025, that underwent additional genetic characterization at CDC, 92.8% belonged to subclade K. The cumulative influenza-associated hospitalization rate overall in FluSurv-NET is the third highest since the 2010-2011 season. Children younger than 18 years have the second highest cumulative hospitalization rate for that age group since the 2010-2011 season. Twelve influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 2025-2026 season were reported...
