Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccination makes a huge contribution to preventing many infectious diseases and reducing the associated morbidity and mortality. It is a key pillar of an effective health care system. However, there is not much research on vaccination and autoimmune diseases. On the other hand, autoimmune diseases are often treated with immunotherapy. Whether vaccines are equally effective for each treatment requires further clarification.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in autoimmune diseases and immunomodulatory vaccines. Based on your extensive knowledge and experience in the field, we cordially invite you to participate in this Special Issue.
Dr. Maria Anagnostouli
Guest Editor
