Those who can already afford the seasonal vaccine would have access to it. And the others would again draw the short straw." Flu shots here range between $5 and maybe as high as $30 dollars per dose. There's no one here that can't afford that. In Africa and some of latin America, it could be a problem.

The problem with these vaccines is the variation globally. If they maintained a common standard in all countries we could get somewhere. A trivalent rather than monovalent vaccine with specialization for 2 subtype and strain specific elements and 1 generic, who create a benchmark efficacy that could be measured and improved Year on year. this of course never happens.
