What are the latest advancements in vaccine development for children?
Recent research has focused on developing new vaccines and improving existing ones to better protect children from infectious diseases. For instance, the introduction of the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 has been a major breakthrough. These vaccines have shown high efficacy in preventing severe illness in children aged 12 and older, with ongoing trials for younger age groups. Additionally, new vaccines for common childhood illnesses, such as the RSV vaccine, are under development, aiming to reduce the burden of respiratory infections in infants.
