Abstract

Emerging and re-emerging pathogens pose a constant epidemic threat to humanity not only for their public health
consequences but also for the economic, social and political effects they may influence globally. Therefore, great
public awareness and preparedness will be the basis in the fight against emerging infectious diseases. Following
traditional research and development paths, it can take between 5 and 10 years to develop a vaccine for an
infectious agent. This approach is unsuitable for the needs posed by the emergence of new pathogens during
epidemics. Vaccines are the cornerstone of managing infectious disease outbreaks and are the surest way to
mitigate the risk of pandemics and epidemics. The faster the vaccine is deployed, the faster the outbreak can be
brought under control. The ideal vaccine platform in a pandemic situation should be cost-effective and can be rapidly
developed and produced on a large scale to meet global demand.
