Implication

Review highlights enhanced immune responses from adjuvants and respiratory delivery in target populations, indicating improved strategies for future seasonal influenza prophylaxis.

Key Points

Assess recent advances in influenza vaccine formulations, novel adjuvants, and respiratory delivery strategies to optimize protection against emerging viral variants.
Synthesized clinical progress and formulation approaches for inactivated split, subunit, and live attenuated influenza vaccines.
Evaluated the impact of mucosal administration to the respiratory tract alongside adjuvant-enhanced immune boosting.
Incorporating specialized adjuvants or delivering inactivated split and subunit vaccines directly to the respiratory tract significantly boosts protective immune responses.
Live attenuated vaccines administered mucosal-route demonstrate strong safety and efficacy profiles, establishing a viable pathway for long-term prophylaxis in children and young adults.
