Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging viral infections continue to pose serious global health hazards, frequently resulting in extensive epidemics with limited therapeutic options. The fast development and adaptation of viruses emphasizes the critical need for novel ways to prevent and treat them. To this end, recombinant vaccination technologies and enhanced immunotherapy tactics have emerged as promising approaches to overcoming these obstacles.
This Special Issue aim to highlight innovative studies and reviews which focus on the development of recombinant vaccines and newly developed immunotherapeutic treatments for re-emerging viral infections. Topics of interest include novel vaccine platforms (such as viral vectors, DNA/RNA-based vaccines, and protein subunit vaccines), advancements in antibody therapies, immune modulation techniques, and strategies for enhancing vaccine efficacy against highly mutable viruses.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Vaccines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
