Medicines are only moderately efficacious and influenza vaccines are the most important method for combating the disease.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Why do we need new vaccines against influenza when influenza vaccines already exist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Firstly, today\u2019s influenza vaccines are not always efficacious. Secondly, a new influenza vaccine must be developed every year that is adapted to the \u2018new\u2019 viruses that it is presumed will cause illness in the coming influenza season. Thirdly, completely new viruses can arise that the population has no protection against whatsoever. In such cases, pandemics with high mortality can occur, as was the case during the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. In pandemic situations,time and capacity problems can make it difficult to produce a vaccine in time. To solve these problems with today\u2019s influenza vaccines, the researchers at the centre are developing a completely new type of vaccine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>The goal is to create a vaccine that protects against all present and future influenza viruses. People will only have to take such a universal vaccine once in order to achieve lifelong protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>The centre consists of outstanding researchers in the fields of immunology, virology and infectious diseases at the University of Oslo, Oslo University Hospital, the University of Bergen and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health in Oslo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>The centre brings together researchers with different areas of expertise to work towards a common goal, the development of new influenza vaccines. The aim is to conduct ground-breaking research that can contribute to establishing a general influenza vaccine<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"header left  \"><span class=\"font-size-xxs\" title=\"Groupleaders\" >Groupleaders<\/span><\/div><div class=\"header left  \"><span class=\"font-size-xss\" title=\"Rebecca Cox\" style=\"color:#0054a2\">Rebecca Cox<\/span><div class=\"subheader\"><p>Professor \u00a0UiB and HUS<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"header left  \"><span class=\"font-size-xss\" title=\"Dag Kvale\" style=\"color:#0054a2\">Dag Kvale<\/span><div class=\"subheader\"><p>Professor at\u00a0UiO og OUS.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"header left  \"><h2 class=\"font-size-sm\" title=\"Mediaomtale\" >Mediaomtale<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"external-links-container light-blue\"><ul class=\"external-links\"><li class=\"inner-item\"><i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uib.no\/med\/133152\/10-kjappe-om-coronaviruset\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UiB.no<\/a><span class=\"description\">Ti kjappe om coronaviruset<\/span><span class=\"date\">24.01.20<\/span><\/li><li class=\"inner-item\"><i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/138442535\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Scientific Working group on Influenza, ESWI<\/a><span class=\"description\">Innlegg p\u00e5 m\u00f8tet v\/ Gunnveig Gr\u00f8deland<\/span><span class=\"date\">2014<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<div class=\"infobox light-brown\"><h3>The centre in brief<\/h3><p>Leader: Bjarne Bogen<br \/>\nStart: 2013<br \/>\nHost institution: Universitetet i Oslo<br \/>\nFunding: 16 MNOK<br \/>\nHome page:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.uio.no\/klinmed\/forskning\/sentre\/kgj-influensavaksiner\/om\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">K.G.
