Vaccines are one of the greatest inventions in human history. To improve immunity, researchers have continuously sought to invent and update vaccines. Vaccine innovation and widespread vaccination efforts have significantly impacted public health. Throughout history, vaccines have saved millions from severe and contagious diseases. The smallpox vaccine was the first vaccine to be developed. Then came other deadly diseases like polio, COVID-19, and others.
Vaccines can be made using a dead or destroyed form of the disease-causing organism or parts thereof—the antigens. There are three ways to produce vaccines: animal inoculation, egg-based technology, and cell-based tech. The egg-based vaccine production method is the most efficient.
It is strongly recommended every flu season to get the influenza vaccine. Influenza can cause serious health problems for older adults, children, and those with medical conditions. Healthcare workers who encounter influenza patients are given an annual influenza vaccine. This vaccination is given to healthcare workers who come across influenza patients to lower their chances of spreading the virus to others.
The fastest growth rate is expected in Africa and the Middle East during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rapid development of economic conditions and the rise in disposable income. It also improves healthcare facilities. There is also an increase in awareness programs; government funding rises, and increased investment by key market participants.
The global influenza vaccine market grew in multiple ways due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A rapid increase in coronavirus-infected patients drove the demand for influenza vaccines. The influenza vaccine can not prevent COVID-19 but it can protect against the virus. The vaccine can lower the severity of the virus and reduce hospitalizations, illness, and death.
According to reports, COVID-19 patients who had received the influenza vaccine in 2021 were less likely to suffer strokes, sepsis, and deep vein embolisms. These patients were also less likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit. The pandemic has seen a spike in flu vaccination rates due to free flu vaccinations provided by the government and other healthcare workers. These factors allowed the market to expand significantly during the pandemic.
