Vaccines have and continue to save lives. Without vaccines 50% of us would not be here. The rapid advancement in developing vaccines is an example of how fast progress is possible in adversarial times. Working with subject matter experts in virology, immunology and vaccinology has enabled us to develop tried and trusted vaccines as well as try new platforms. These new platforms have the potential to alter preventative medicine interventions. Imagine a vaccine to prevent chronic diseases - this may soon become possible.
We will address the fantastic developments in the field of vaccines and what else can also be achieved via the vaccines route, especially as antibiotics maybe becoming ineffective.
