Abstract.  The ability to remember previous encounters with pathogens and mount a more rapid response on subsequent exposure to the same or a related pathogen is a central features of the adaptive immune system of vertebrate hosts.  I will give an overview of our current understanding of immunological memory and its application to vaccines.  I will focus on key puzzles that remain, and describe how a better understanding of immunological memory could help improve existing strategies as well as and develop new strategies for vaccination.
