Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The quest for a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 has mobilized a multitude of researchers worldwide that combined their expertise and effort for the rapid development of effective products. In this special issues, we want to highlight:
- the vaccine platforms already available before the COVID-19 pandemic, which have been quickly scaled-up to develop vaccines against SARS-CoV-2
- aspects related to the immunogenicity, safety and efficacy of licensed vaccines, including the durability of immune responses and the protection against variants
- new generations of vaccines/new vaccine candidates against COVID-19
- strategies to improve the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination
- vaccination strategies for particular populations (e.g. children, the elderly, fragile subjects)
- immunological correlate of protection
Original research articles and short communications on pre-clinical and clinical studies are welcome, as well as reviews and commentaries.
