Vaccines from the perspective of a pharmacist

The field of development, production and safety of vaccines has recently come under the public eye. The aim of this review article is not to provide comprehensive information on the development and production of vaccines, which would not be possible even in a limited space. Its purpose is to outline a brief overview of the principles, development, and production of basic types of vaccines and point out the benefits and risks from the perspective of a pharmacist. He can participate not only in basic research, but his role is mainly in the formulation of a dosage form, registration of a vaccine, its distribution, and educational activities towards the lay and professional public.
