End of Course Summary

Dr Rajeka Lazarus thanks learners for joining the course and gives an overview of what was covered.

Congratulations! You have completed the final week of Vaccine Development: Finding A Vaccine for COVID-19 and Future Pandemics.

Week 3 focused on understanding how vaccines are used to control outbreaks and pandemics. Several case studies were investigated throughout the week to enhance your understanding. We also considered the current COVID-19 vaccine candidates, including their advantages and limitations. Finally, we looked at why and how we need to stay prepared for future infectious disease threats.
