Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccines are a cornerstone of public health, offering protection against infectious diseases and contributing to global health security. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in vaccine epidemiology, immunogenicity, effectiveness and safety, fostering collaboration among researchers, healthcare professionals and policymakers. By bringing together diverse perspectives and studies, we seek to enhance our understanding of vaccine performance across different populations and settings, ultimately improving vaccination outcomes. We invite submissions that explore a range of themes, including but not limited to the following:
- Epidemiological Studies: Investigations into vaccine coverage, distribution and impact on disease incidence.
- Immunogenicity Assessments: Research on immune responses elicited by various vaccines in different demographics.
- Effectiveness Evaluations: Studies measuring real-world vaccine effectiveness and factors influencing outcomes.
- Safety Profiles: Evaluations of adverse events and long-term safety data associated with vaccines.
- Novel Vaccine Technologies: Innovations in vaccine development and delivery mechanisms.
- Policy and Implementation Research: Analysis of vaccination programs and strategies for increasing uptake.
