Vaccines for Swine
The IVVN’s third annual conference, originally scheduled for March 2020 in Hanoi, Vietnam, was unfortunately cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Therefore, we decided to host the conference programme as a series of online symposia. The first of these symposia took place on Wednesday 16 December 2020 and covered Vaccines for Swine. The session was chaired by Professor Simon Graham (The Pirbright Institute, UK) and Dr Filip Claes (Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD), Thailand) and comprised six presentations – some invited, others selected from abstracts submitted to our postponed Hanoi conference, and two IVVN pump-priming grant awardees – as well as a poster and networking session.
