Excellent article.
Important bit for here.
Unlike most of the vaccines listed, FLU-v was designed to promote cellular (T-cell) immune responses over humoral (antibody) immunity, and demonstrated successful protection against intranasal challenge with H1N1.
As the article says Flu strains change and mutate and with antigenic drift and predominantly an AB response immunity is not long lasting as it us essentially humoral.
Flu V is targeting a cell mediated response via T cells which in general creates a more widespread,potent and longer lasting immunity.
