How Vaccines Work

О курсе

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.
