10th Anniversary of Vaccines

The year 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of Vaccines, a peer-reviewed, open access journal focused on laboratory and clinical vaccine research, utilization and immunization. Vaccines has published more than 2800 papers from over 16,000 authors. More than 4,200 reviewers have submitted at least one review report. We value the contributions made by authors and reviewers. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Vaccines, we are arranging a series of special content and events.

Editor-in-Chief: Prof. Dr. Ralph A. Tripp

Dr. Tripp is a Professor and Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar working in vaccine and therapeutic studies in the Department of Infectious Diseases at the University of Georgia. Dr. Tripp’s research interest is associated with developing translational disease intervention approaches for respiratory viruses, such as SARS-CoV2, influenza and RSV. His labs investigate the mechanisms of immunity and disease pathogenesis associated with respiratory virus infection, in order to better understand the functional differences between innate and adaptive immune responses that provide the foundation necessary to facilitate vaccine and antiviral therapeutics.



Vaccines publishes its 1000th paper.

The journal is divided into seven topical sections:

Vaccine Adjuvants;
Attenuated/Inactivated/Live and Vectored Vaccines;
Clinical Immunology;
Cellular/Molecular Immunology;
Pathogen–Host Immune Interface;
Human Papillomavirus Vaccines;
Hepatitis Virus Vaccines.
