Since its discovery in the late 18th Century, the role of vaccination in preventing death and disease has expanded across many infectious diseases and cancer. Key to our understanding of vaccine immunogenicity and efficacy is knowledge of the immune system itself. Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) represent a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by impaired function of the immune system.

Young adults in their 20s have shown slower uptake of COVID-19 vaccines relative to older adults, potentially endangering themselves and their communities. Despite this, little vaccine communication has specifically targeted this age group. This study explored why "20-somethings" in British Columbia (BC), Canada delayed COVID-19 vaccination, and how to better encourage their vaccine uptake.

Newborns represent only 1% of the population. Yet, HIV vertical transmissions represent 10% of all new infections globally, even though antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been shown to reduce the risk of vertical transmission to less than 2%. While vaccines still represent the most efficient and cost-effective intervention to eradicate new infections, HIV immunogens that can effectively elicit broad-spectrum protection are still at least a decade away.

Background: Dengue virus (DENV) is a major global health challenge, causing over 7.6 million reported cases in 2024. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (NmAbs) have emerged as promising therapeutics to address the limitations of vaccines and lack of antivirals, but their development is complicated by viral diversity, "breathing" dynamics, and antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE).
