Universal flu vaccine: How scientists are closing in on the virus's 'weak spots'
While current flu shots need to be updated each season, scientists are finding new ways to make vaccine that could last much longer and cover more strains.
Each year, roughly a billion people around the world catch the flu. You'll know if you've got it – it can knock you out for a week or more with a fever, fatigue, headaches and a cough. It leaves millions of people each year unable to work and sadly claims the lives of between 290,000-650,000 people in a typical year.
It's a miserable disease – and, unfortunately, there's no guarantee that if you catch it one year, you go through the same ordeal the following year. Influenza is a wily virus, constantly shapeshifting to get around humans' immune defences.
