Summary

The eradication of diseases such as small pox and reduced threat of infections such as polio have been possible thanks to advances in medical sciences and widespread vaccinations. However, it would be very naïve and complacent for us to think that there will not be another disease such as AIDS or SARS sooner or later.

Preparing populations for health threats from either new or re-emerging infectious diseases is recognized as an important public health priority.

Vaccines offer a cost-effective means to prevent disease, including cancer. However, there are regulatory issues associated with each vaccine that is developed and the aim of this chapter is to discuss the regulatory issues faced by vaccines from both the FDA and EMEA.
