Designing the Next Generation of Vaccines: Relevance for Future Pandemics

ABSTRACT The development of vaccines is one of the greatest medical interventions in the history of global infectious diseases and has contributed to the annual saving of at least 2 to 3 million lives worldwide. However, many diseases are not preventable through currently available vaccines, and the...
