The paper analyses the effectiveness of influenza vaccines, demonstrating that, although their ability to prevent infection may be limited, they are highly effective in reducing the burden of disease, severe complications and mortality associated with the virus, especially in at-risk populations such as the over-65s and people with chronic diseases. The article sends a very clear message: annual influenza vaccination is essential, not only to prevent infection, but primarily to protect against severe forms of the disease and save lives.
