Advancing vaccinology in India

Pages 27-29 | Published online: 09 Jan 2014
 

Abstract

India’s inaugural Advanced Vaccinology Course, hosted by the Child Health Foundation and the International Clinical Epidemiology Network, attracted approximately 55 EPI managers and privately-practicing physicians from across the country. The comprehensive course provided training in epidemiology, disease surveillance, and vaccine safety and regulation. Core lectures highlighted vaccination trends, challenges, and innovations specific to India; ‘Breakout Sessions’ and the ‘State-of-the-Art Lecture Series’ complemented core course material. Overall, the course aimed to provide an advanced education in classic and topical areas of vaccinology to ensure that India has the tools and skills required to safely manage and grow its national immunization program.
