conference registration continues

The organizing committee of the International African Vaccinology Conference has now closed the call for abstracts. A panel of international experts will review the submitted abstracts and accepted abstracts will be allocated to an oral or poster session. Authors will be notified by end July 2012 of the acceptance of their abstracts.

VACFA congratulates WHO for uniting countries across the globe from 21 to 28 April 2012 for vaccination campaigns, public education, and information sharing under the umbrella of "World Immunization Week 2012".

The 8th Annual African Vaccinology Course will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, from 05 November to 08 November 2012. The course will be followed this year by the first International African Vaccinology Conference (9-11 November 2012). The course is intended for decision makers in the field of vaccinology in Africa. 

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.
