Overview

Animal vaccines are preparations given to animals to stimulate protective immunity against infectious diseases. By presenting the immune system with an antigen, derived from a weakened, inactivated, or component form of a pathogen, vaccines prompt the production of antibodies and immune memory that help the animal resist later infection. Vaccination is a cornerstone of veterinary healthcare for both companion animals and livestock, supporting animal welfare, productivity, and the control of diseases that can spread within and between herds, and in some cases between animals and people. Research in this journal includes field-based evaluation of animal vaccination, such as an assessment of the immune response induced in neonatal calves by vaccination with Mycobacterium bovis BCG Phipps under field conditions. Studies of this kind examine how vaccines perform in real-world settings and how the resulting immune responses can be measured. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to animal vaccines and immunization in veterinary healthcare.
