The global vaccinology training website will help identify further additional vaccinology courses that will eventually be listed on the electronic registry. A primary aim of the platform is to facilitate identification of suitable training by those looking for such courses. This platform will also help strengthen a workforce network to advance vaccinology around the global. The studies of transmission mechanism of emerging viruses have provided important basis for the policy maker from sciences to control and prevent the emerging infectious diseases, especially the elucidation of the relationship between novel coronavirus infection
