biodefense vaccine development

Biodefense vaccine development focuses on creating vaccines to protect against infections caused by biological threats, such as viruses, bacteria, or toxins that could be used in bioterrorism or could accidentally occur. The process involves researching the pathogens, determining effective ways to stimulate the immune system, and ensuring safety and efficacy through testing. Once developed, these vaccines can help safeguard public health by preventing outbreaks, especially in high-risk scenarios. This proactive approach is essential for national security and public health preparedness against potential biological attacks or natural disease threats.
