Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For decades, vaccines have been a crucial instrument for preventing infectious diseases. New vaccines are being developed and tested for the control of emerging diseases, such as COVID-19, Dengue fever, and RSV, including mRNA vaccines to prevent several high-burden infectious diseases (e.g., HIV, Hepatitis C, Malaria, etc.). As research progresses, the urgent need for data on the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of these vaccines in specific population subsets increases. Novel articles, summaries, and reviews are encouraged for this Special Issue that may contribute new information on advanced concepts on the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of the vaccines, leading to more advanced and tailored public health strategies.
