3/ How are influenza virus vaccine recommendations made? 📊 Uses data from WHO Global Influenza Surveillance & Response System (GISRS) Data types mentioned in FAQ doc include: ▶️ Surveillance data ▶️ Antigenic & genetic characterisation of viruses ▶️ Human serology studies ▶️ Vaccine effectiveness

3. How are influenza virus vaccine recommendations made?

Data and information from the GISRS network, which includes NICs, WHO CCs, WHO ERLs and WHO H5 Reference Laboratories, and from other sources are used to make vaccine virus recommendations. This includes:

• Surveillance data:
Virus surveillance data from the GISRS network, complemented with epidemiologic and clinical findings, inform the vaccine virus selection process.

• Antigenic characterization of viruses:
GISRS laboratories, in particular WHO CCs, use post-infection ferret antisera and pooled post-vaccination human sera to evaluate antibody reactivity with the surface proteins (antigens) of circulating and vaccine influenza viruses. Antigenic cartography is used to visualize relatedness of viruses based on the data provided by WHO CCs.

• Human serology studies with influenza virus vaccines:
WHO CCs and WHO ERLs test how well antibodies from vaccinated people react with recently circulating influenza viruses.
• Virus fitness forecasting:
Virus fitness relates to the likelihood of any emerging groups of viruses becoming more prevalent in coming months. Information from modelling studies, based on genetic sequences available in databases and antigenic information provided by the WHO CCs is considered.

• Antiviral susceptibility:
GISRS laboratories analyse influenza viruses to determine if they remain susceptible to the antiviral drugs approved for treatment of influenza infections. This information is taken into consideration when specific viruses are selected as candidate vaccine viruses (CVVs).
• Vaccine effectiveness:
The Global Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness (GIVE) Collaboration, made up of many different studies conducted in countries in both the northern and southern hemispheres, provides information on vaccine performance in previous influenza seasons and interim reports on the current season.

• Availability of candidate vaccine viruses (CVVs):
CVVs are essential for production of vaccines in a timely manner for the next influenza season. Most vaccines produced globally use egg-based manufacturing processes which require CVVs that replicate well in eggs while cell-based vaccines require CVVs that replicate well in cell culture. Separate recommendations are made for egg- and cell-based
CVVs because of the differing replication and manufacturing processes. Influenza virus vaccines comprised of recombinant protein influenza virus antigens do not require CVVs for manufacturing.

These data, and other findings made available by GISRS, are evaluated during WHO Consultations usually held in February and September of each year. The consultations include experts from WHO CCs, WHO ERLs, WHO H5 Reference Laboratories, NICs, OFFLU, academic institutions, and other national and regional institutions.
