Vaccination remains the primary strategy for managing influenza virus infections; however, the virus undergoes frequent genetic changes through antigenic drift and shift. These mutations lead to new seasonal strains that evade pre-existing immunity. These mutations can potentially result in virulent strains that could trigger future pandemics. Therefore, developing a vaccine capable of providing robust protection despite these genetic changes is essential. Vaccine adjuvants are essential for boosting and directing the immune system's response, broadening the spectrum of protection, and reducing the amount of antigen required to achieve protection, which is particularly valuable in the face of rapidly evolving strains and during pandemics. Recent advances in adjuvant design and formulation strategies have demonstrated promising improvements in both the overall potency and durability of influenza vaccines, importantly, significant reductions in losses due to influenza infection. This review highlights the current status of different types of influenza virus vaccines, their benefits, and challenges.
