Course background: 1. A vaccine health knowledge base will be provided to the general public and an overview of conventional vaccines is a quality education course that trains students to establish health knowledge and improve basic medical knowledge; 2. For non-clinical medical students, by understanding the types and hazards of microorganisms that cause diseases, as well as the inoculation of common vaccines and the prevention of infectious diseases, we can establish self-protection awareness and construct health concepts; 3. For clinical medicine students, the course aim for students master the pathogenesis and organism of infectious diseases, the immune mechanism of the vaccine and the disease resistance mechanism of the vaccine. At the same time, through the learning of courses, it can propose vaccine development ideas for infectious diseases that have not yet been developed, and promote scientific research thinking.
Course objectives: 1. Understand the types and hazards of microorganisms that cause diseases, and build a healthy concept; 2. Master the vaccination of common vaccines and prevention of infectious diseases; 3. Put forward ideas for vaccine development and promote scientific thinking.
Course content: The knowledge system of this course mainly consists of four parts. The first part is
the basic knowledge of vaccinology, which describes the basic properties of pathogenic
microorganisms and infection prevention, vaccine immunology and vaccination. The second part and
the third part are the introduction of the Class I and Class II vaccines in China, including the eight
categories of mandatory vaccines and nine kinds of common vaccines under the current National
Immunization Program. The fourth part is the research on the vaccines for emerging infectious
diseases, which mainly summarizes the outbreaks of the diseases and the research of the vaccines. At
the same time, the research on a bacterial disease vaccine (Helicobacter pylori vaccine) and a viral
disease vaccine (dengue fever vaccine) are introduced as examples.
