ABSTRACT

Vaccination is a cornerstone of public health policy because it has been demonstrated to be a highly cost-effective way to protect children’s health. It is true that developing novel vaccines against pathogens that are challenging to target will present substantial challenges; therefore, a deeper comprehension of protective immunity is imperative. Given that the majority of the vaccines we use today were developed and tested empirically, one could argue that immunology has not made a significant contribution to vaccine development thus far. Considering the great potential and challenges of using vaccines to prevent disease outbreaks and protect the elderly population, now is the perfect time for immunologists to be involved in the development of the next generation of potent immunogens. As well as the availability of numerous novel technologies. A vaccination is a prescription drug that increases a person’s ability to fight off a specific disease. The immune system searches for antigens, which are distinct protein components of
the invader, to recognize foreign material when a virus or bacteria that causes illness enters the human body.
