This course will provide a multidisciplinary introduction to the field of vaccinology. This includes historical perspectives on the emergence and evolution of vaccines, to modern strategies of vaccine development, formulation, and delivery. Through consideration of the processes involved in licensing and manufacturing, students will gain insight into the mechanisms and priorities to ensure vaccine efficacy and safety. The impacts of vaccines on human and animal health, including mechanisms of vaccine-induced protection, both at individual and population levels, will be considered and supported by case studies. Prerequisite(s): BMSC 210 or approval of course coordinator. Note: Students with credit for BMIS 319 may not take this course for credit. BMIS 319 and 819 are cross-listed.
