Vaccinology is a major field in eradication of diseases. Traditional approaches to vaccine design were to emasculate or inactivate the human pathogen or a cognate animal homologue, Vaccinology is the science of vaccine development and how the immune system responds to vaccines, but additionally includes perpetual evaluation of immunization programs and vaccine safety and efficacy, as well as surveillance of the epidemiology of vaccine-preventable diseases. This chapter provides a brief overview of some of the main concepts of immunology and vaccinology as they relate to immunization.

Why Brisbane?  

 In 2013 there are 20 vaccines and related conferences are held in australia. From thar three are from Bris bane.

Brisbane City Council provides a free immunisation service for children to help protect them against childhood diseases such as measles, whooping cough, polio and tetanus. Providing a free immunisation service is another way Council delivers towards the Brisbane Vision. Around 22 Biological giants are working in Australia. Around 15 top universities are working on vaccines research. In Australia.
