Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the urgency for well-trained professionals in vaccinology. With the purpose of building capacity in the field, the Catholic University of Portugal created the Masters in Immunology and Vaccinology. Here, I describe this innovative program and compare it to the current Vaccinology programs worldwide to reveal its uniqueness, and how it will contribute to reduce the burden of disease, improve disease prevention and promote healthier lives globally.
