Vaccines-related Podcast Episode - BacterioFiles 196

This blog is not my only project, nor even my primary: I also have a podcast, called BacterioFiles, which in some ways is sorta the opposite of this blog. It is about how microbes (bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi) are awesome and useful, whereas this blog is more about how they are deadly and unpleasant.

But sometimes, in happy coincidence, they overlap, and the latest episode was one of those times:

BacterioFiles 196 - Flagellin Facilitates Flu-shot Function



Gut bacteria are important for a good immune response to unadjuvanted influenza vaccines!

It's a much more recent study than the ones on this blog have been so far, but interesting context to keep in mind while reading (or in my case, writing) the entries for this blog, so I thought I would share. Enjoy!
