The Future of Flu: A Review of the Human Challenge Model and Systems Biology for Advancement of Influenza Vaccinology
Conclusions: Human challenge studies and systems biology approaches are important tools that should be used in concert to advance our understanding of influenza infection and provide targets for novel therapeutics and immunizations. Introduction Although influenza virus was recognized as an important pathogen over a century ago, influenza continues to cause a significant burden of disease. In the United States alone, it's estimated that in the 2017–2018 season there were 959,000 hospitalizations related to influenza illness, and 79,400 deaths (CDC, 2018).

The Effect of Preventive Immunization on the Incidence of Allergic Conditions.
Abstract  The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of preventive immunization on the incidence of allergies in Poland.18617 (53.8% female, 24.2% 6-7 years old, 25.4% 13-14 years old, 50.4% 20-44 years old) were selected by stratified cluster sampling method in 8 cities and 1 rural area. 4783 of whom underwent objective outpatient screening assessments. Study subjects were evaluated for any association  between  preventive  immunization  against  rubella,  measles,  typhoid  fever, smallpox and incidence of atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma.There was no increased risk of allergy in...
