This course spans all aspects of vaccinology: from the development of a vaccine candidate capable of protecting from disease to the integration of the vaccine into national vaccination programmes. The first part of the course focuses on the immunological responses crucial for development of an effective vaccine. The second part delves into the challenges involved in clinical trials, safety monitoring, and regulatory processes necessary for vaccine development. The final sessions investigate international policy and challenges to implementing immunisation programs.
