Vaccines play a crucial role in safeguarding the body against pathogenic diseases by inducing a durable memory within the body’s immune system. This course will cover the process of vaccine development and the mechanisms by which the immune system responds to vaccines for enduring immunity. Topics in this course will include vaccine design, vaccine efficacy, basic immunology, immune responses triggered by vaccines and pathogens, and the formation of immunological memory. The course will include a combination of assigned readings and homework, class discussions, team-based learning, and in-class activities. In addition to covering the course content, this course will integrate learning strategies for reading and interpreting scientific literature. Key goals of this course include improving critical thinking skills, scientific literature comprehension, data interpretation, and conversing in an active learning environment.
