The theme for this year is " Benchmark Practices and Innovations in Vaccination". Several topics of interest focus on Maternal and Neonatal Immunization, Adolescent Shots, New Vaccines- Meningococcal, Pneumococcal and Rotavirus. Since this is the year of the dog, we have included the Practice Guidelines on Animal Bite Management for Rabies prevention. Our workshops focus on Vaccine Safety involving participants from private sectors like MDs and Nurses, government groups (Local Health Units) and the Pharmaceutical companies and sub distributors. A new feature of the conference is on the presentation of BEST Practices in Vaccination in the workplace/Community.

We are looking forward to see you all during the conference.
