Dr. Sarah Gilbert at Oxford's Jenner Institute led the team of medical researchers that created the vaccine targeting the proteins. The breakthrough effectively negates the virus's ability to mutate making it the most powerful weapon in the medical arsenal against the influenza virus.

Professor Adrian Hill, director of the Jenner Institute told the UK Guardian that 'The problem with flu is that you've got lots of different strains and they keep changing. Occasionally one comes out of wildfowl or pigs and we're not immune to it. We need new vaccines and we can't make them fast enough.'"
