The 6th Annual African Vaccinology Course will take place at the University of Cape Town in South Africa from 8 to 12 November 2010.  The course is intended for decision makers (i.e. EPI managers, clinicians, public health practitioners, nurse practitioners, academia, and scientists) in the field of vaccinology in sub-Saharan Africa.  Applications for the course were accepted up to 27 August 2010 and successful applicants will be notified on 10 September 2010.  

In accordance with its mandate to provide guidance on health policy matters, the World Health Organization publishes a series of regularly updated position papers on vaccines and vaccine combinations against diseases that have an international public health impact.

On 24 November 2009 the World Health Organization added VACFA to the list of Vaccine Safety Net websites, because of VACFA's adherence to the credibility and content criteria of good information practices. "This site represents an important addition to the network since it is just the second site to be included from the African region" says WHO.
