Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global health is continuously changing; thus, we expect to face various challenges in the form of epidemics and pandemics. Vaccines play an important role in mitigating these challenges. The worldwide effort to vaccinate people has demonstrated how immunization can prevent serious consequences, save lives, and protect communities. The second edition of this Special Issue will investigate the evolving landscape of vaccination and explore solutions to achieve better vaccine uptake. We welcome original research, perspectives, and reviews that examine the latest advances in public health vaccination strategies, the role of vaccines in global health security, and ways to increase vaccination rates in vulnerable populations.
