Vaccinology
An Introduction to Vaccinology
Vaccinology is a field dedicated to the study, development and practical application of vaccines to prevent and manage infectious diseases. Its primary goal is to better understand the immune response to pathogens and devise effective strategies for eliciting protective immunity. Notably, recent developments in vaccinology have been marked by advances in mRNA vaccine technology, exemplified by the success of COVID-19 vaccines. This innovative approach not only enables swift vaccine development but also holds substantial promise for addressing a diverse array of infectious diseases. Continued advancements in adjuvants, delivery systems and personalized vaccines are also propelling the field toward enhanced efficacy and accessibility.
