Why influenza virus is so rampant? The main reason is the virus generates variation endlessly. And the vaccine is often ineffective. Because both of them cannot matches each other. Respecting this status, I think the researchers should consider the mutagens which can induce various kinds of variation in the flu virus, and formulate a vaccine against all the viruses that will be circulating.
