Design and analysis of vaccine studies

What is a vaccine scientifically?
Training Your Immune System
“Vaccines are like a training course for the immune system,” says Northwestern Medicine Allergist and Immunologist Deeba Masood, MD. “They prepare the body to fight disease without exposing it to disease symptoms.” Vaccines prevent an estimated 2 to 3 million deaths per year..
What is the definition of vaccine in biotechnology?
Vaccines by definition are biological agents that elicit an immune response to a specific antigen derived from an infectious disease-causing pathogen.
Edward Jenner developed the first vaccine in 1796 using cowpox to inoculate against smallpox..
What is the scientific principle behind vaccination and immunization project?
Vaccines contain antigens that stimulate the immune system to produce an immune response that is often similar to that produced by the natural infection.
With vaccination, however, the recipient is not subjected to the disease and its potential complications..

Vaccines interact with the immune system and often produce an immune response similar to that produced by the natural infection, but they do not subject the recipient to the disease and its potential complications.
Vaccines produce immunologic memory similar to that acquired by having the natural disease.

Vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus

A respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, or RSV vaccine, is a vaccine that protects against respiratory syncytial virus.
RSV affects an estimated 64 million people and causes 160,000 deaths worldwide each year.

Viral shedding from a vaccine-induced infection

Vaccine shedding is a form of viral shedding which can occur following a viral infection caused by an attenuated vaccine.
Illness in others resulting from transmission through this type of viral shedding is rare.
Most vaccines are not attenuated vaccines, and therefore cannot cause vaccine-induced viral shedding.
