Desirable Immunologic Characteristics for the Development of an Ideal Vaccine
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 October 2009
Abstract
The efficacy of vaccines for prophylactic use is a function of the immune response elicited by activated lymphocytes. Based on the current understanding of these responses, their induction, and the most effective ways to obtain long-lived immunity, a novel protocol for the vaccination of children against seven childhood diseases, involving only two visits for vaccine administration, is proposed.
