COVID-19 Vaccines and Vaccination

A section of Vaccines (ISSN 2076-393X).

Section Information

Aims

The aim of this “COVID-19 Vaccines and Vaccination” is to provide with information on currently available and novel experimental approaches for the development of vaccines for the control of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and it associated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Scope

Global efforts to develop vaccines recently have resulted in 3 FDA-approved vaccines candidates with excellent safety and efficacy profiles in human clinical trials that have resulted in large-scale vaccination campaigns early in 2021.Currently, RNA-based vaccines and replication defective adenovirus-based vector have been used for the treatment of COVID-19 in humans. However, additional safe and effective vaccines are needed for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its associated COVID-19 disease.

In this section “COVID-19 Vaccines and Vaccination” we will consider original research and review articles, including short reports and full-size manuscripts, covering aspects related to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development for the treatment of COVID-19 disease. These include (but not limited to) antigen selection; subunit, inactivated, and live-attenuated vaccines; approaches to enhance innate and adaptive B- and T-cell protective responses; vaccine adjuvants; delivery methods and strategies; immunological responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 disease; and animal models to assess protection efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease.
