Rationale for the Development of a Rotavirus Vaccine for Infants and Young Children

  • Conference paper
Progress in Vaccinology

Abstract

Vaccinology is a relatively new term, but its very existence reflects the progress in vaccine development. The field of vaccinology embraces the breadth of biology ranging from molecular biologic initiatives to conven-tional, well-established techniques.
