  • Tokyo 16.00
  • Seoul 16.00

Our vision is to share the principles and practical experiences of different parts of the world in topics of vaccination.  This will include vaccine matching strategies, post vaccination monitoring, in vivo testing of vaccines, monitoring vaccine quality and novel vaccines.

The workshop will bring together those researchers, policy makers and implementers interested and involved in vaccination as one of the means for FMD control to share knowledge, experience and ideas.  The main aim of the 3-hour workshop will be to discuss vaccine related sciences that are similar across the different endemic regions and share the lessons learned.  We will set the scene with invited speakers who will introduce their topics.  The talks will be followed by a round table discussion where we invite participants to seek clarification and share their experience and viewpoints from their countries/regions. 

Registration is free and required to actively participate of the discussion.

The workshop will be moderated by Kees van Manen and Theo Knight-Jones from the EUFMD.

The speakers include Don King, Anna Ludi and David Paton (FMD World Reference Laboratory, The Pirbright Institute, UK), Elizabeth Rieder (Plum Island Animal Diseases Centre, USA), David Mackay (European Medicines Agency, EU), Wilna Vosloo and Nagendra Singanallur (CSIRO-Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness, Australia), Jong-Hyeon Park (Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, South Korea) and several additional co-authors.
