Innovation in Influenza Vaccination in Switzerland: The Role of Cell-Based Vaccines

Explore the role of cell-based vaccines

Cell-based vaccines are a type of vaccine that are grown in mammalian cells

instead of chicken eggs. Cell-based flu vaccine production does not use flu

viruses grown in eggs and, therefore, is not dependent on the supply of

eggs. In addition, use of cell-based vaccine viruses may offer better

protection compared to traditional, egg-based flu vaccines, by avoiding the

so called egg-adaptive mutations. These innovative aspects are presented in

the presentation of Professor Ulrich Heininger during a FOMF (Forum

Medizin Fortbildung) Webinar held on 13 March 2024.
