The Need for Viral Vaccines for a Specific Human Population

Abstract

Joseph Millan

The use of a subunit viral vaccine to prevent a specific viral illness hasn't shown to be very effective. This contrasts with the time when the entire Cowpox virus was used for vaccination to prevent the smallpox virus epidemic in China over a thousand years ago, when Edward Jenner accepted it as a scientific approach despite the lack of protection. Immunology is now better understood than it has ever been before. Subunit viral vaccines became the most preferred approach for viral vaccine manufacture in order to avoid negative effects. On the other hand, many forms of viral immunizations failed to match our achievement. Why viral immunizations aren't successful for everyone is a point of contention.
