| description | —Vaccination against contagious
diseases which greatly decreases the
mortality rate and promotes population
health is a valuable invention in medical
biotechnology. With the improvements
made in biotechnology, the production and
effectiveness of vaccines also experience
an advancement from the commonly
applied recombinant DNA technology to the
reverse genetics’ techniques and newly
DNA vaccines which is still not common in
the applications for humans. The
application of biotechnologies in the
vaccine preparation process greatly helps
to save the time and expenses spent and
many possible preventive measures with
higher efficiency or new vaccines are
discovered with the help of biotechnology
applied. Breakthrough in prevention against
antibiotic resistance bacteria or challenging
diseases contribute to the development of
the medical field. However, the rapid growth
of biotechnology and their application in
vaccination also raise the awareness of the
public regarding the ethical and safety
issues such as biological weapons and
vaccine scares. Authorities should put in
more efforts to overcome these challenges
to maximize the benefits of vaccination to
humans especially in preventing the deadly
contagious diseases outbreaks in the world. |
