How Does Immunological Memory Influence Vaccine Strategies?
Understanding immunological memory is pivotal in vaccine strategy development. Vaccines aim to create strong and long-lasting immunological memory without causing the disease. Insights into immunological memory guide the choice of vaccine type (live attenuated, inactivated, or subunit), dosing schedules, and the need for booster doses. For example, the development of the COVID-19 vaccines has been heavily influenced by research on immunological memory.
