Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccines have significantly changed the landscape of infectious diseases. However, vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) still pose significant challenges in areas with limited access to healthcare and with the emergence of new strains of vaccine resistance. The persistence of VPDs, such as the resurgence of measles in regions with declining vaccination rates, underscores the need for epidemiology, which has an important role in understanding the vaccination, transmission dynamics, and prevalence. With advanced epidemiological modeling, researchers can predict disease outbreaks, identify gaps in vaccine coverage, and assess the long-term impacts of vaccination efforts.
This Special Issue aims to address key aspects of the epidemiology of vaccine-preventable diseases, enhance our understanding of their dynamics, and support the development of more effective and sustainable immunization programs worldwide. We welcome original research articles and reviews for consideration in this Special Issue.
