Abstract. Today, about 30 infectious diseases can be prevented by vaccination. Successful vaccination of the population can prevent at least 2-3 million deaths per year from various infections. Unfortunately, to date, anti-epidemic measures throughout the world have led to the complete elimination of only one infectious disease - smallpox. At the same time, the incidence and mortality from infectious diseases remains at a fairly high level, and WHO has compiled a list of 9 infections that cannot be prevented by vaccination today, and the development of vaccines for the prevention of these diseases is one of the priorities of public health. The WHO also believes that vaccine development must move faster as the world prepares for the emergence of a new pandemic of yet unknown disease, «Disease X». In this regard, the production of new vaccines presents enormous challenges in terms of studying the target pathogens for future vaccine candidates, as well as achieving the desired results to prevent the development of epidemics and pandemics.
