Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccination is crucial in reducing the prevalence of infectious diseases. Vaccinating children on time throughout their childhood is vital because it helps to provide immunity before they contract diseases. Moreover, all women should ensure that they are up-to-date with their vaccinations before becoming pregnant. It is important to keep women of a reproductive age up-to-date with immunizations, whether or not they are actively trying to conceive. Some vaccinations are strongly recommended, even for pregnant women. Several issues remain regarding vaccination against infectious diseases in children and women. Thus, we encourage the submission of articles and reviews on advances regarding the vaccination in children and women and articles on vaccination-related issues in these groups. Adding new information on these subjects may lead to a better understanding of vaccine-related disease prevention and the development of new vaccines against infectious diseases in children and women.
