Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccination is the essential measure to eliminate infectious diseases such as measles, rubella, congenital rubella syndrome, and polio. It is also important to reduce the rate of many infectious diseases. Accordingly, on-time vaccination throughout childhood is essential because it helps provide immunity before children are contracted potentially life-threatening diseases. Additionally, all women should be up-to-date with their vaccinations before they become pregnant. It is important to keep women of reproductive age current with immunizations, regardless of whether they are actively trying to conceive. Even in pregnant women, some vaccinations are strongly recommended.
On the other hand, as we cannot prevent some infectious diseases such as congenital cytomegalovirus infection by the vaccine, hygiene measures are the only way to prevent the infection. In addition, Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common viral infection of the reproductive tract and can cause cervical cancer in women. However, many large countries have not yet introduced the vaccine in spite of the presence of effective HPV vaccines. Thus, there are still several problems with vaccination against infectious diseases in children and women. Therefore, we would like to encourage the presentation of this Special Issue's recent advances regarding the vaccine in child and women. Articles on the topics regarding vaccination for children and women will also be welcome. Adding new information on these subjects may lead to a better understanding of the preventive disease by vaccine and develop the new vaccine against the infectious disease in children and women
