much more desirable since the production of that vaccine takes less time and can happen quickly (starting early summer), allowing extra months to determine the very latest circulating variant, and have ready for the fall, whereas the traditional vaccines are still mostly incubated in eggs, and thus a flu variant needs to be selected in early spring (April is often a drop-dead date) in order to start production. and be ready in the fall.
