  Kwon et al. present an important paper using a novel approach to estimating rotavirus vaccine efficacy using data from a passive surveillance network in the US. They provide convincing evidence to support their conclusion that using the whole genome, rather than previous use of two surface proteins, enhances our understanding of strain-specific vaccine efficacy. These findings have implications for this vaccine specifically as well as type-specific vaccine evaluation more generally.

Timely vaccine strain selection and genomic surveillance improves evolutionary forecast accuracy of seasonal influenza A/H3N2

1. John Huddleston

• Curated by eLife

  eLife Assessment

  This study investigated the influence of genomic information and timing of vaccine strain selection on the accuracy of influenza A/H3N2 forecasting. The authors utilised appropriate statistical methods and have provided solid evidence that is an important contribution to the evidence base. While the study addresses a key aspect of public health, the impact is rather limited by its exclusive reliance on predictive methods using genomic information, without incorporating phenotypic data.
