This short overview introduces the fundamental scientific concepts of immunological memory, vaccination, and the effects of ageing on these parameters, which were the focus of the second Merial European Comparative Vaccinology Symposium (MECVS) held in Prague from 13th-15th May, 2009. Significant differences in the way that ageing impacts on different domestic animal species are reviewed.
