A flu jab that is given just once in a lifetime should be available within five years.
Unlike the current vaccine, it would fight off all strains of the disease, from the winter flu that leaves millions feeling miserable each year, to deadly pandemic viruses.
And unlike the existing jab, the U.S.-developed drug would not have to be given each year.
Described as the ‘holy grail’ of flu research, just one or two shots could provide lifelong protection, a conference held by the Royal Society, Britain’s most prestigious scientific body, heard yesterday

Well it's about time! Don't get me wrong, I hate a lot of vaccinations (not all), but I thought that this sort of thing would be common-place by now! How long have we been giving out vaccines for?
Somehow, though, I have a feeling this won't be pursued. Much money would be lost. That, or: the next big scary flu virus will come around, and the CDC will say "This strain may not be effected by your previous vaccination. Better get an upgraded shot just to be sure."edit on 15-11-2010 by gatorboi117 because: (no reason given)
