    1. A total of over 190,000 SCIE-indexed research papers focusing on viral vaccines and antiviral drugs were systematically retrieved for the period 2000-2024.
    2. Article counts show a steady annual growth with a significant surge during the COVID-19 pandemic, although research on vaccines and antivirals declined in proportion during this period.
    3. We analyzed the research dynamics of the vaccine and antiviral subfields, identified 43 major focus viruses, and explored their research priorities among the top 10 countries.
