The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that anywhere from 24,000 to 81,000 people died from the flu during this past flu season.
Hundreds of thousands more were hospitalized and millions were infected.
And this is a moderate season.
In the event of a whole flu pandemic, those numbers could be much higher.
That's Adolfo García Sastre, a viral immunologist at the ICANN School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.
He's working on a vaccine that could not only protect people from a pandemic flu virus, but all flu viruses.
No more annual flu shots.
He calls it a universal flu vaccine.
A vaccine like this hasn't been possible before because the virus that causes the flu, influenza, mutates every year, evading the previous year's vaccine.
And Adolfo and his team are working on a vaccine that can target all versions of the influenza virus, past, present and future, if they can find the resources.
