Unification of classification groups of vaccines

Abstract

Vaccines – immunobiodrugs, for active immunization of people and animals for preventive and therapeutic purposes, today have received a multi-vector and complex development of technology and structure. At the moment, in the world and in the Russian Federation, in particular, there is no single, generally recognized classification of vaccines that combines all modern achievements in vaccinology. The literature uses disparate approaches to classification, naming of vaccines, as well as incomplete reduction of classification groups. In the presented work, an analysis of existing classifications was carried out, their improvement based on new knowledge in the field of vaccine preparations, the creation of new drugs based on genetic engineering, the systematization of scientific information in the field of development of immunobiological preparations and open prototypes. This classification is proposed to be used to create a unified classification of vaccines on the territory of the Russian Federation and the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union and use it to standardize finished products, educational and methodological publications, scientific reaserches and other theoretical materials. The paper presents four classification groups, each of which is composed in such a way that, if necessary, for example, in the event of the emergence of fundamentally new technologies for the production of vaccines, they can be implemented into it without compromising the overall systematics.
