What is #immunology?

It’s the study of the immune system, protecting us from infection, disease & cancer. From vaccines to immunotherapies, it shapes modern medicine.

Celebrate #BiologyWeek by exploring how immunologists keep the world healthy 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 https://bit.ly/4nmt8zR

How vaccines are made The process of developing a new vaccine starts with laboratory based research by scientists. The vaccine will be subjected to many lab tests, clinical trials and a rigorous manufacturing process to make sure it is safe and effective. Find out more about how vaccines are made and what are the ingredients that make up a vaccine in this short animation. More information about vaccines: www.celebratevaccines.com
