1. Overview of Vaccines
Abstract
Most vaccines are designed as a prophylactic measure, that is, to stimulate the immune response so that on subsequent exposure to the particular infectious agent, the extent of infection in the vaccinated individual is so low that disease does not occur. There is also increasing interest in designing vaccines that may be effective as a therapeutic measure. There are two contrasting types of infectious processes.
