Abstract
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a significant public health concern across the globe. Vaccines have played a crucial role in mitigating the burden of infectious diseases and are the most effective candidates for preventing STIs. Currently, vaccines for hepatitis A, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and human papillomavirus (HPV) are available. More recently, the smallpox vaccine was approved for Mpox (MPX) prevention. Ongoing research efforts are focused on developing vaccines for other STIs. This paper reviews the current indications for available vaccines for use in the context of STIs and discusses some of the vaccines currently being researched. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
