More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The development of next year’s influenza vaccine is actually already under way, and this is where the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) comes in. The first step in developing the new flu vaccine is to measure the effectiveness of the current one. Throughout flu season, NHRC receives samples from military hospitals and clinics throughout Southern California and Illinois from patients with flu-like symptoms or febrile respiratory illnesses (FRI). Once the samples arrive at our lab in San Diego, our analysis begins.
