Antimicrobial Resistance and Vaccines

The global rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a serious threat to public health, largely driven by excessive and inappropriate antibiotic usage. Vaccines play a critical role in combating antimicrobial resistance by preventing infections and reducing the need for antibiotics. By lowering disease incidence, vaccines help minimize antibiotic exposure and slow the evolution of resistant strains. Integrating vaccination into AMR strategies can significantly curb the spread of resistant pathogens. This track will explore vaccine development, policy integration, and global efforts to address AMR through immunization.
