About this title

Synopsis

Vaccines represent one of the most effective, affordable, and impactful public health tools available to developing countries, saving millions of lives each year. Immunization is a proven method to prevent illness, disability, and death from a wide range of vaccine-preventable diseases such as diphtheria, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough), pneumonia, polio, rotavirus, diarrhea, rubella, tetanus, and other infections caused by bacterial and viral pathogens.

As global efforts focus on reducing poverty and improving health equity, investment by developing nations in enhancing research and development for vaccine design, production, and accessibility becomes increasingly vital. Strengthening immunization programs targeting both communicable and non-communicable diseases contributes significantly to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and promoting universal health coverage.

This book presents a collection of 15 scholarly papers contributed by professionals and researchers from nine countries-Egypt, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Palestine, Peru, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. These contributions offer in-depth insights into current and emerging trends in vaccine development, with particular attention to the design and innovation of 'third-generation' vaccines. The volume also addresses the key scientific, logistical, and policy challenges encountered in modern vaccinology, making it an important resource for public health professionals, researchers, and policymakers working toward global immunization and health equity.
