In the second episode of our podcast series celebrating World Immunization Week 2021, we'll talk about the beginnings of vaccines and how they changed the world. We'll also tell you about the types of vaccines in use and what other vaccine components, such as adjuvants, are.
For example, did you know that some vaccines use whole pathogens (inactivated or attenuated), while others use small pieces of the germ (like the mRNA vaccines now used for COVID-19)?
This episode features three BactiVax researchers: Paulina Zarodkiewicz (Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland), Emil Vergara (St. George's University of London, UK) and Ana Rita Franco (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy).
