Vaccines for Poultry
The IVVN’s third annual conference, originally scheduled for March 2020 in Hanoi, Vietnam, was unfortunately cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
We have decided to host the conference as a series of online symposiums and the second of these symposiums on Vaccines for Poultry will take place on Thursday 25 February 2021 and will be co-hosted by the GCRF One Health Poultry Hub. The symposium will be chaired by Professor Fiona Tomley (Royal Veterinary College, UK) and Professor Hualan Chen (Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, China), and will consist of presentations from invited speakers, abstract submissions, and IVVN pump-priming grant awardees. The symposium will be interactive and attendees will be able to participate in a live Q&A session after each presentation.
