Vaccine and Immunology

Vaccinology

Vaccinology is science of vaccines, and historically vaccine technology, immunogens, the host immune response, delivery technologies, manufacturing, and clinical evaluation. Recently the science has developed further to include the vaccine safety, vaccine efficiency its clinical trials, ethics, storage. Veterinary vaccines are equally important in the field of vaccinology for their contribution not only to animal health but also to the security of the food supply for humans. Although traditionally vaccinology has focused on infectious diseases, as we move forward in the twenty-first century vaccines will also potentially make significant contributions to the control of non-infectious diseases such as cancers, neurodegenerative diseases and addictions.
