• Who needs to be vaccinated
• The best approach and scientific innovation to develop the vaccine

Types of Vaccines:

• Inactivated vaccines
• Live-attenuated vaccines
• Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines
• Subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide, and conjugate vaccines
• Toxoid vaccines
• Viral vector vaccines
• Monoclonal Antibodies
