Success of COVID-19 vaccine could lead to better flu shots now being tested on humans – PennLive

The trials will take place over the course of the upcoming flu season and the companies hope to have the new vaccines approved and available by late next year or early 2024. Trials taking place in multiple countries will involve more than 50,000 people.
