Requirements
Course Title: Immunology and Vaccination
This comprehensive course explores the science of immunology and the pivotal role of vaccines in disease prevention and global health. Designed for students, healthcare professionals, and curious learners, the course provides a solid foundation in the structure and function of the immune system, including innate and adaptive immunity, antigen recognition, and the cellular and molecular mechanisms of immune response.
Through engaging lectures, interactive visuals, and case studies, participants will learn how the body defends itself against pathogens and how immunity develops naturally and through vaccination. The course delves into the history of vaccines, current vaccine technologies (e.g., mRNA, viral vectors, inactivated), and the immunological principles that guide vaccine design and administration.
Learners will explore topics such as herd immunity, vaccine schedules, booster doses, and vaccine safety, as well as challenges like vaccine hesitancy and emerging infectious diseases. Real-world examples will be used to highlight the impact of immunization on public health, including the eradication and control of major diseases.
By the end of the course, participants will have a strong understanding of how vaccines work, why they are essential, and how immunological knowledge contributes to medical advancements and public policy. No prior background in biology is required—just a curiosity about how our bodies fight disease.
