Course Description
Overview
Explore the world of vaccines in this comprehensive lecture presented by Professor Peter Openshaw, an expert in Experimental Medicine at Imperial College London. Delve into the intricacies of COVID-19, understanding its nature and the body's B cell response. Examine various vaccine approaches, including modern technologies and specific vaccines like Oxford-AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Chadox. Learn about reactogenicity, the Vaccine Task Force, and investment strategies. Discuss crucial topics such as vaccination groups, mutations, variants, and vaccine doubts. Investigate prospects for COVID-19 vaccines, potential failures, and strategies for measuring immune responses. Explore long-term effects, infant vaccination rates, and the impact of anti-vaccine movements. Gain insights into mucosal vaccines, escape mutants, and mixed vaccine approaches. Understand why certain variants are more transmissible and how vaccines might affect immunosuppressed individuals.
