Influenza vaccines have been manufactured from eggs to manufacture since the 1940s. Insect cell-derived influenza vaccines are a new alternative to egg-derived vaccines. Three different approaches to using insect cell-derived influenza vaccines have been established that could contribute to future influenza vaccine supply and development. [Traces of these cells end up in the final vaccine
