Vaccines against Infectious Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

We are launching a special issue on vaccines against infectious disease, in which we propose to cover aspects of vaccine design, development , formulation, clinical trial and deployment.  Despite advances in global healthcare, there is still a clear need for more vaccines against infectious disease, underlined in the past year or more by the coronavirus pandemic. In this series, we will invite a broad range of papers to cover the following topics:

• Vaccines to counter anti-microbial resistance
• Vaccines to eradicate endemic disease-opportunities and challenges
• Vaccines to prevent zoonotic transmission-targeting the animal reservoir
• Vaccine platforms-advantages and disadvantages
• Clinical trial design for reactive and preventive vaccination
• Vaccine deployment in outbreak settings-lessons learned
• Advances in vaccine formulation and adjuvantisation
• WHO pre-qualification of vaccines-creating a Target Product Profile
• Clinical view on routinisation of vaccines
• How do we prepare for vaccines against the as yet unknown?
