Brief description Hospitalisation and mortality rates from influenza are high in the Indigenous population. There is an urgent need for one-shot universal vaccine that protects against seasonal and pandemic strains. To identify potential vaccine targets we firstly have to determine which viral proteins will induce a large protective immune response. These responses vary between ethnicities thus comparisons will be drawn between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to determine multiple vaccine candidates that will be protective across ethnicities.
