Immunization and Innovation: The Role of Vaccination in Reducing the Threat of Emerging Infectious Diseases

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are a serious threat to health across the globe. Vaccination is an important component of our response to these threats. The review brings together data from the latest research on the efficacy of vaccination against EIDs and describes challenges and opportunities in vaccine development. The data show that vaccines greatly decrease mortality and morbidity in chronic diseases like COVID-19 and Zika, although access and coverage are still limited. Effective vaccines and international partnerships are necessary to expand immunization coverage and eliminate EIDs worldwide.
