Vaccine Prophylaxis in the Modern World

15 May 2025
Time: 7 pm

SPbU Representative Office in Spain invites you to the lecture 'Vaccine Prophylaxis in the Modern World', delivered by Lidia Soprun, Associate Professor at St Petersburg University (Department of Healthcare and Medical Law). The lecture will provide insight into one of medical science’s most significant achievements and its crucial role in safeguarding global public health.

In an era of information overload and conflicting views on vaccination, access to reliable scientific information has never been more crucial. Our lecture will provide an evidence-based perspective on the history, current state, and future prospects of vaccine prophylaxis based on facts and relevant research studies. 

During the lecture, you will discover the evolution of immunisation methods — from early experiments to modern high-tech vaccines. The speaker will explain the mechanisms of different vaccine types, clarify how immune responses develop, and emphasise the importance of herd immunity in protecting vulnerable populations. Professor Soprun will speak about remarkable achievements in vaccine prophylaxis — from the complete eradication of smallpox to the significant reduction in cases of poliomyelitis, measles, and other dangerous infectious diseases.

Particular focus will be given to contemporary challenges in vaccine prophylaxis: the emergence of new infectious diseases, declining public trust in vaccination, and the proliferation of misinformation. The lecture will examine the stages of vaccine development and testing, mechanisms for monitoring safety and efficacy, along with ethical considerations for mass immunisation programmes. 

This lecture will help develop fair perception of vaccination benefits and potential risks, equip participants with skills to critically evaluate vaccine-related information from diverse sources, and enable participants to make evidence-based decisions regarding personal and family health protection.

This lecture provides expert answers to questions of concern about vaccination, enhancing participants’ ability to engage in societal discussion on immunoprophylaxis. The advancement of evidence-based knowledge in this field significantly influences both individual and public health.

The lecture will be streamed online in Russian with simultaneous translation into Spanish.
