  • A quadrivalent influenza vaccine is recommended to reduce the health impact associated with influenza B infections. (atlantis-press.com)
  • Each week, we publish a bulletin with reports on the current situation concerning influenza and other respiratory tract infections. (pasteur.fr)
  • Although respiratory infections can be classified by the causative virus (eg, influenza), they are generally classified. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) has been authorized for use in Canada since 2011, and was previously considered contraindicated by NACI in individuals with HIV. (canada.ca)
