First sentence: The identification of vaccine targets is a complex endeavor that requires a multidisciplinary approach that involves epidemiological analyses to identify the diseases for which vaccines are needed, a market analysis to verify whether the developed vaccines will be commercially viable, and a feasibility study to ascertain whether the vaccine development is feasible with the technologies and the knowledge available.
