[Conduct vaccines clinical trials and optimize the immunization strategies].
Development of an effective vaccine requires a long and complicated process. Preclinical studies and phase Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ clinical trials mainly focused on the assessment of the vaccine's safety (tolerability), immunogenicity and efficacy before license. ⋯ In this special issue, published several articles, which reported the main results of pre-license clinical trials and post-marketing evaluation of various vaccines, it was extremely useful to support vaccine licensing and market use. We encourage the continuous clinical studies and post-marketing evaluation of vaccines, including the novel corona virus-19 vaccines, to provide technical support for the population use, under the situation of COVID-19 pandemic.
