Vaccination is the process of injecting antigenic material to stimulate immune response. Conventional vaccines insert attenuated or killed infectious agent, such as virus or antigenic protein, into the body to stimulate immune system to develop immunity against the pathogen.

Conventional vaccines also unable to…
million people2. The influenza A virus (IAV) is a member of the orthomyxoviridae family and has a negative sense, single stranded RNA genome split into 8 segments, containing 11 genes. The virus possesses a lipid envelope which is produced from the host cell. Spikes protrude from this membrane which consist of hemagglutinin (HA), which facilitates receptor binding and fusion, and neuraminidase (NA) which cleaves sialic acids on the outside of the cell allowing release of virions3. Also on the…
