Dutch and Canadian researchers have found several new breakthroughs regarding the virus
Toronto-based scientists have managed to isolate the agent that is responsible for the outbreak of the virus. This will help researchers study and hopefully find a way to combat it. Furthermore, Dutch researchers have submitted a scientific paper for publishing that highlights an anti-body for the virus that they have discovered.
The theory behind vaccination is, that you inject a deactivated version of whatever you want to vaccinate against in the body, and thus the immune system riggs up it´s defenses against that intruder. This process takes quite some time.
If you want to go to a Malaria stricken country, you have to vaccinate in time, like quite a few weeks prior, or else you won´t be protected.
So when you vaccinate against the flu amidst flu season - would you be protected?
