About

This article discusses the lack of adequate medical attention given to influenza, highlighting the need for better preparedness in the United States for a potential pandemic. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is actively involved in research to develop antiviral drugs and vaccines for both seasonal and potential pandemic influenza. The NIAID's efforts include assessing therapies, conducting clinical trials for new drugs, and evaluating novel vaccine candidates. It emphasizes the importance of linking preparation for seasonal and pandemic influenza to optimize overall readiness in the community.
