Seasonal influenza vaccines must be reformulated each year
to maintain protection. This requirement
reflects ongoing evolutionary changes in circulating influenza viruses that
affect how well prior immune responses recognise the virus.

Which explanation best accounts for the need to
update influenza vaccines annually?

Which explanation best accounts for the need to
update influenza vaccines annually?
