Abstract:

Virus infection can cause several diseases in human. In the past decades, outbreaks and epidemics of respiratory infectious diseases caused by coronary viruses, especially coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), have become serious health hazards and posed huge challenges to public health. The development and application of viral vaccines have been an important means to counteract the spread of viruses. Historically, poliovirus and hepatitis B virus vaccines have successfully suppressed the transmission of diseases and provided a model for the development of vaccines. Recently, the emergence of novel technologies and platforms such as recombinant viral vector and mRNA vaccine has provided new approaches to the development of vaccines against emerging infectious diseases including COVID-19. This paper reviews the current situation and progress of platforms, summarizes problems to be solved, and forecasts the directions of viral vaccines development.

Key words: Viral vaccine, Coronavirus, Recombinant viral vector, mRNA vaccine, Antibody-dependent enhancement
