MeSH Heading: Influenza Vaccines
Tree Number(s): D20.215.894.899.302
Unique ID: D007252
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007252
Annotation: coordinate with specific influenza virus or virus subtype /‌immunol; not for Haemophilus influenzae vaccines (= HAEMOPHILUS VACCINES)
Scope Note: Vaccines used to prevent infection by viruses in the family ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE. It includes both killed and attenuated vaccines. The composition of the vaccines is changed each year in response to antigenic shifts and changes in prevalence of influenza virus strains. The flu vaccines may be mono- or multi-valent, which contains one or more ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS and BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS strains.
