Vaccines are among the most effective tools we have to improve and save lives, but only if they are administered to eligible patients. In this issue, Naeger et al1 highlight the major opportunities that the health care community has to achieve high adult vaccination rates. These vaccines include those for prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), pneumococcal, and influenza, diseases that respiratory health professionals are most aware of, plus pertussis (in Tdap), herpes zoster (HZ, shingles), and as of May 3, 2023, respiratory syncytial viral, for which adults with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseas...

Editorial: Shaping of Human Immune System and Metabolic Processes by Viruses and Microorganisms
Conclusions In conclusion, articles in this Research Topic made a very significant contribution to our understanding of the role played by environmental factors, dysbiotic conditions, and infections in triggering diseases. Since this is a rapidly expanding area of research, many other factors contributing to the onset of these diseases are not covered here. We are confident, however, that further studies will expand the list as well as bring a better understanding of mechanisms involved in the onset of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. Author Contributions All authors listed have made a substantial, direct and i...
