Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccination has been one of the greatest scientific achievements. The important role of vaccination in the prevention of infectious diseases is supported by strong scientific evidence. Vaccines have saved millions of lives across the globe. This progress in reducing infant mortality and morbidity is at risk due to misinformation and rising vaccine hesitancy. It is important to remind the scientific community about the safety and efficacy of vaccines and their important role in eradicating scourges like smallpox and preventing severe outcomes of infectious disease, such as measles and polio. We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Vaccination and Disease Prevention Among Children”, which aims to address the importance of vaccination in infection prevention among children. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Vaccination and prevention of infectious diseases; impact of vaccination
- National and global impact of immunization programs
- Prevention of vaccine-preventable diseases
- Strategies to improve vaccination uptake
- Preclinical and clinical studies on vaccine safety, efficacy and immunogenicity
- Consideration of immune ontogeny for pediatric vaccines
- Vaccination of pregnant women to reduce disease susceptibility in infants
