Abstract
Over the past century, conventional vaccination technologies such as inactivated and attenuated live vaccines have saved millions of lives. Traditional vaccine techniques have disadvantages for responding to emergent viruses with pandemic potential, including suboptimal effectiveness, high costs, and limited scale-up production. Despite tremendous progress in research and development of vaccine, human vaccination science was arguably held at a standstill prior to the pandemic, with few novel vaccine strategies being approved. However, the research and marketing of innovative vaccine technologies might flourish in the veterinary field. Direct assessment of vaccination effectiveness in target species takes advantage of the increased interest in companion animal and cattle health, which propels veterinary vaccine development and innovation. The goal of this study is to draw attention to the latest advancements in veterinary vaccine research and to novel vaccine technologies that are being investigated and used to enhance animal health.
