THURSDAY 13 JUNE
Event: CSL Seqirus Breakfast Symposium: Enhancing Influenza and COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness
Date: 13 June 2024
Time start: 7.15 am (Registration from 7:00am)
Time end: 8.15 am
Venue & location: Sky S1 Room, Brisbane Convention Centre
The COVID-19 pandemic has escalated the pace and direction of vaccine development. This has implications for vaccination programmes, including influenza, both currently and in future. As we emerge from the pandemic, greater emphasis needs to be placed on building vaccination programmes which are sustainable and support a robust public health response in an evolving environment. Innovative vaccine technologies play a role in addressing this need.
Innovation in vaccine development includes consideration of manufacturing platforms focused on enhancing vaccine effectiveness. Such improvements will be best realised using platforms which are fit-for-purpose, adaptable and scalable. This will require consideration of novel vaccine targets and formulations which offer the opportunity to improve the magnitude, breadth and persistence of immune response; as well as opportunity to combine approaches. This session aims to discuss considerations for enhancing vaccine effectiveness against influenza and COVID-19.
The objectives of this session are two-fold;
-
To review the status of COVID-19 and influenza in Australia and New Zealand, including burden of disease, vaccination trends and the unmet need in current vaccination strategies
-
To discuss the evolution and scientific rationale for innovation in vaccine development to enhance vaccine effectiveness, with a focus on COVID-19 and influenza
-
A panel of experts will present and discuss considerations and scientific rationale for the evolution of influenza and COVID vaccines.
