Abstract:
Vaccination has its roots since 18th century and is a time tested, safe and costeffective preventive tool against many infectious diseases. Over time, the advent of molecular techniques and whole genome sequencing for infectious pathogens have exponentially propelled this field with safer and very effective vaccines replacing the older ones. Research has proven that vaccines are not only effective in preventing infections or reducing the severity and duration of illness, but also effective in preventing malignancies attributed to pathogens (E.g., Cervical cancer Human Papilloma virus, Burkitt’s lymphoma – Epstein Barr Virus, etc.). Yet there remains a threat of emerging, remerging, or novel infectious pathogens, sometimes even leading to pandemics like COVID-19 Pandemic Global vaccination drives were in place to curtail the pandemic. This chapter focuses on these very trends in vaccination development: historic roots and evolution, newer forms, newer methods, forms of vaccines and a way forward.
