Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions on “Vaccine Development for Viral Infection”. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has stimulated vaccine research and accelerated the development of innovative vaccine strategies. These vaccines appear essential to protect against severe forms of COVID-19 and to help to mitigate the global impact of SARS-CoV-2. While some viral diseases have been easily controlled and some eradicated by vaccines, there are still many viruses against which the development of an effective vaccine remains a dream.
This Special Issue aims to present a collection of inspiring articles that discuss the current state of vaccine research in viral diseases and how they can benefit from COVID-19 vaccine research.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: epidemiological, biological, and clinical aspects related to already existing vaccines as well as advances in the development of new vaccines against viral infections, especially against the ones that currently do not have any vaccine available, e.g., other respiratory viruses such as RSV, viruses of the immunocompromised such as Polyomaviruses, or other global pandemics such as HIV. Vaccines against emerging viruses and current vaccines improvements are also welcomed themes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
