Meeting report from ‘Correlates of Protection for Next Generation
Influenza Vaccines: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic.’
Abstract
Background: This report summarizes the discussions and
conclusions from the “Correlates of Protection for Next Generation
Influenza Vaccines: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic” meeting
which took place in Seattle, USA, from March 1, 2023, to March 3, 2023.
Conclusions: Discussions around influenza virus correlates of
protection and their use continued from where the discussion had been
left off in 2019. While there was not much progress in the influenza
field itself, many lessons learned during the coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic, especially the importance of mucosal immunity, were
discussed and can directly be applied to influenza correlates of
protection.
