Abstract "This book summarizes age-related changes of the immune system and their impact on immune responses to vaccination, as well as other factors influencing vaccine-induced immune responses in old age. It gives an overview of vaccines which are currently available for older adults and of novel technologies and targets which hopefully will lead to more and improved vaccines for this vulnerable population"-- Provided by publisher.
