This course describes the underpinning science around vaccines and their development. It will look at the immunological underpinnings of how vaccines induce protection. It will also look at the epidemiological basis of how vaccines are rolled out. Finally it will explore how new vaccines are developed.
On successful completion of the course, learners will be able to: 1. Understand how the immune response mediates vaccine protection 2. Explain how vaccines enter public health programs 3. Demonstrate your understanding of the challenges for the generation of a vaccine against disease This is an intermediate series of courses intended for both clinical and non-clinical scientists who want to update their skills for work in clinical, academic, and pharmaceutical/bioscience industries, and is developed and delivered by experts working on viruses and novel vaccines. To be successful in this series of courses, you should have basic knowledge in biology, genetics, microbiology or related fields.

Excellent piece of knowledge in such a short span of course duration
KD
Excellent overview of the body's immune system ! Plus the many well-presented factors and issues associated with vaccines give great perspective on world public health today.
DC
Clear and concise descriptions in all videos of each week. Well presented, and am looking forward to follow-on courses.
PW
Excellent really enjoying, easy to understand and navigate thankyou

A good synopsis for the early investigator in vaccinology. A "blast into the past" & review for others. But well worth the effort to both.

This is a very informative course. Starts off by introducing the Immune system and setting a solid foundation before diving into the intricasies and complexities associated with the manufacture of vaccines and the logistical/economic issues around vaccine deployment. Finally, it winds up with vaccine hesitancy which is a very important issue around vaccine acceptance in a population and also tells us how we can overcome the issue of Vaccine Hesitancy. Looking forward to the other 3 courses that are a part of this specialisation have to offer.

Very informative course and well taught
very interested this topic
esay refreshing
Pretty good, also that this one is giving a really broad reflection of vaccination aspects on an epidemiological/social level (e.g. vaccine hesitancy and aspects such as convenience, complacency and confidence), which probably play a major role in the success of a vaccination campaign. Just the scientific part of immunology in the scope of vaccination falls a bit short.
