đ¨[Special Opportunity] CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS: 50 Years of ImmunizationâSteps Forward
As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in 2024, the MDPI team are thrilled to invite you to contribute to a special issue commemorating this milestone. Since its inception in 1974, EPI has played a pivotal role in ensuring global access to vaccines, originally targeting six diseases and now encompassing a broader range of vaccinations for individuals of all ages. Through innovations in supply chain management, digital technologies, monitoring systems, safety surveillance, and injection techniques, EPI has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of public health.
Celebrating this legacy of progress, the MDPI team encourages submissions of original manuscripts, reviews, position papers, and case studies on various vaccine-related topics, including program implementation, research, and vaccination-related policies. Particularly welcoming contributions exploring vaccination in diverse and marginalized communities, as well as those addressing lessons learned from past and present health crises and their implications for future pandemic preparedness. Deadline to apply by October 31, 2024!
