The human influenza virus was first isolated in 1933. Two years later, Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet and Wilson Smith separately discovered that the virus could be grown on the chorio-allantoid membrane of embryonated chicken eggs. Even today, most influenza vaccines are manufactured using this process. A smaller proportion of vaccines are manufactured using cell-culture and recombinant technologies that were approved by the FDA in 2012 and 2013. In this issue of AJKD, Zhuo et al report a reduction in the risk of acute kidney injury in elderly patients who received the influenza vaccine. Their work supports the protective effect of the influenza vaccine against the disease and its kidney-related complications. See page 75. Special thanks to Editorial Intern Ifeoluwa Olaoye for curating the cover image and drafting the cover blurb for this issue.
