Overview
What you will study
Epidemiological research has become an important tool in assessing vaccine protection. Although there are several courses specialising in vaccinology, there remains a gap in teaching about advanced epidemiological tools for vaccine evaluation. This Epidemiological Evaluation of Vaccines course offered by London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine fills that gap, providing an in-depth training on current methods used in the evaluation of vaccine efficacy, safety and policy. It aims to address immunisation issues in high, middle and low income countries.
