Scientists, given more time and flexibility, often stumble upon unexpected discoveries—like Alexander Fleming, who saw a mould had killed the bacteria he was growing, paving the way for antibiotics.
Recent study analysed such findings—more of them than you'd expect.

There is currently significant respiratory virus activity in the EU/EEA, with both #influenza and #RSV epidemics ongoing.
#Vaccination campaigns against respiratory pathogens continue in many EU/EEA countries, and people who are eligible for vaccination are encouraged to get vaccinated.
