title: [Personalized vaccination?].
abstract: Several studies revealed a close relation between the sex and immunity including the immune responses to bacteria, viruses and parasites antigens. Dimorphic immune reactions in females versus males and an influence of sex factors on the efficacy and side effects of vaccines as well as a new approach in the construction of prophylactic vaccines dependent on the sex and genetic background of vaccinated individuals (personalized vaccinology) are presented in the article.
