Influenza is commonly referred as flu, a contagious respiratory illness which is caused by influenza virus. The virus can cause mild to severe illness, resulting in serious outcomes such as hospitalization or death. Geriatric population, pregnant women, and people with chronic health conditions are at high risk of serious flu complications. Influenza virus is responsible for seasonal epidemic events and are classified into two types of influenza virus, including A and B. Seasonal influenza is characterized by a sudden onset of fever, cough, headache, muscle and joint pain, sore throat and a runny nose. The cough can be severe and can last 2 or more weeks. Vaccination for influenza aids in prevention of flu. This vaccine is recommended for children aged 6 months and older. Influenza virus is transmitted primarily by respiratory secretions or droplets of the infected person. Influenza (influenza A and influenza B) epidemics occur seasonally and vary in severity each year by causing respiratory illnesses and placing a substantial burden on healthcare systems.
Market Dynamics
Increasing research and development of influenza vaccines by key market players is expected to drive the U.S. influenza vaccines market over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2022, Moderna, Inc., a biotechnology company, announced that they had started patient dosing in phase 3 study of seasonal influenza vaccine candidate, MRNA-1010 which is the first of several influenza vaccine candidates developed for improving traditional vaccines by inducing broad and robust immune responses. MRNA-1010 is a vaccine candidate that encodes for hemagglutinin glycoproteins for the four influenza strains for the prevention of influenza, including influenza A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and influenza B/Yamagata- and B/Victoria-lineages.
