This one day meeting is for those interested in the application
of scientific knowledge to influenza and influenza immunisation
delivery in New Zealand. With highly regarded international
and local speakers, it is an excellent opportunity to get an update
on all things influenza-related and to share and review our
programme approaches.
Research Professor
Lone Simonsen from the George Washington University will
consider seasonal and pandemic flu from an international
perspective, and Professor
Raina Macintyre from the University of New South Wales
will focus on protecting vulnerable populations in healthcare
settings.
After lunch we will focus on actions and learnings in the field
from the 2017 NZ influenza season, how it went and what
developments there will be for 2018.
The day will conclude with a diverse range of speakers covering
ethics relating to healthcare worker influenza vaccination,
pandemic preparedness and an historian's presentation of the 1918
NZ influenza pandemic, complete with many interesting photos
