Vaccines and Vaccination: Feature Papers
This special issue belongs to the section "Vaccine Advancement, Efficacy and Safety".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to collect high-quality review papers on vaccine research, vaccination, and public health. Vaccines are among the most cost-effective medicines, but vaccination programs must overcome multiple challenges to achieve their expected outcomes. In this Special Issue, we will collect comprehensive review articles (5000 words or more) that include the most recent research results and findings in relation to vaccination and public health; effectiveness, relative effectiveness, herd immunity and cost-effectiveness of vaccines; factors associated with the vaccination coverage at the national, regional, and local level; disease modelling; factors associated with vaccination hesitancy and vaccination confidence; the management of vaccination programs; advanced vaccination information systems; and the quality assessment of vaccination programs.
Dr. Pedro Plans-Rubió
