Overview
Vaccination is the deliberate administration of an antigen to prime the immune system so that it can recognise and respond rapidly to a specific pathogen on subsequent exposure, conferring active acquired immunity and reducing the incidence, severity and transmission of infectious disease. Platforms include live-attenuated and inactivated whole-pathogen vaccines, subunit and conjugate vaccines, viral-vector vaccines, nucleic-acid (mRNA and DNA) vaccines, and nanoparticle-adjuvanted formulations, each engaging humoral and cellular effector arms to differing degrees. In the setting of SARS-CoV-2, vaccination has been central to pandemic control, and research addresses the immune responses elicited, vaccine effectiveness and seroprevalence after immunisation, uptake and willingness among specific populations including people living with HIV and multiple sclerosis, and the surveillance of adverse events such as post-vaccination hepatic, renal or autoimmune reactions. The field also encompasses vaccines against tuberculosis, pertussis and other pathogens, adjuvant and delivery-system development, T-cell-targeted hypotheses, and the social and informational determinants of acceptance. Core concerns include immunogenicity, durability of protection, safety monitoring, and equitable coverage. The journal publishes peer-reviewed studies on vaccine immunology, effectiveness and safety, post-vaccination clinical observations, and the behavioural and epidemiological dimensions of immunisation against coronaviruses and other infectious agents.
