Abstract
Universal influenza virus vaccine compositions that include multiple inactivated influenza A viruses are described. The compositions include four or more different influenza A viruses, each virus having a different hemagglutinin (HA) subtype. The vaccine compositions can be used, for example, to elicit an immune response against influenza virus, to immunize a subject against seasonal influenza virus, and/or mitigate a future pandemic by serving as a pre-pandemic vaccine.
