Bill information
Summary
A bill to conduct or support further comprehensive research for the creation of a universal influenza vaccine or preventative.
Plain-language summary
This bill would fund research aimed at creating a universal flu vaccine that protects against many flu strains instead of needing a new vaccine each year. The bill affects public health agencies, medical researchers, and ultimately people who get flu shots. A universal vaccine would work like some other vaccines that provide long-term protection without annual updates. The bill is currently in the early stage after being introduced in Congress.
