The course will cover all aspects of vaccinology from historical overview, description of vaccination programs, and
basic introduction to vaccination immunology to vaccine development from research phase to production. Additionally, the vaccine safety and examination and regulatory, ethical, and economic aspects will be discussed including the influence of anti-vaccine activities and changes in the process of introduction of vaccines against the newly emerging infection to the routine practice. Two lectures will be dedicated to human vaccines, one to vaccines applied against infectious diseases and the second one to vaccines against non-infectious diseases. Last update: Lichá Irena, RNDr., CSc. (18.03.2019)

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to: Define basic concepts in vaccinology, including the historical development of vaccines. List the key elements of vaccination programs and their objectives. Identify the basics of vaccination immunology and the mechanisms of immune response induction. Describe the vaccine development process from research through production to safety testing. Provide examples of vaccines against infectious diseases in humans and against non-infectious diseases. Explain the regulatory, ethical, and economic aspects of vaccination. Interpret the impact of anti-vaccination activities on public health. List the relationships between vaccination programs, vaccine safety, and changes in regulatory processes. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of different types of vaccines (e.g., live attenuated vs. mRNA). Evaluate and justify the importance of vaccination in the context of global health and economic impacts. Last update: Tachezy Ruth, prof. RNDr., Ph.D. (30.01.2026)
