Dublin, Aug. 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Seasonal Influenza Vaccines" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Seasonal influenza is an acute viral infection that is spread by person-to-person transmission. Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, circulates worldwide and can affect anyone in any age group, although annual epidemics peak during winter in temperate climates. Seasonal influenza can be type A, B, or C. Type A influenza viruses are considered to be the most virulent of the three types and can be further classified by serotype based on antibody response to the virus.

Seasonal influenza presents significant public health problems for nearly every country, largely because of the cost associated with the treatment or management of the disease, as well as the toll on the workforce. Vaccination against seasonal influenza is the most effective method of preventing influenza infection. However, global vaccination rates remain lower than the levels recommended by the World Health Organization.

Recent events and opinion:

• Quadrivalent vaccines are seeing rapid uptake and will gradually replace trivalent vaccines in all patient groups in the US and EU markets
• The broadening of recommendations to include school-aged children will drive EU market growth significantly
• Adjuvanted vaccines in development have the potential to address unmet needs in infants and the elderly
