Vaccines are a boon that saves millions of lives every year. They train our immune system to fight infectious pathogens. According to the World Health Organization, vaccines save 2.5 million people every year and protect them from illness by decreasing the rate of infections. Computational approach in drug discovery helps in identifying safe and novel vaccines. In silico analysis saves time, cost, and labor for developing the vaccine and drugs. Today\'s computational tools are so accurate and robust that many have entered clinical trials directly. The chapter gives insights into the various tools and databases available for computational designing of novel vaccines.
