Yung-Wai Chan
... Thursday 3rd November 2016
12:45pm – 1:45pm
John Snow Lecture Theatre, Keppel Street
In Hong Kong, universal varicella vaccination for children started in 2014. Prior to that it was available in the private market and a substantial proportion of children had been receiving it on their own cost. In this seminar I will present our observation on the changes in epidemiology of varicella and zoster during the period before universal vaccination and our plan to explore the optimum vaccination strategies for varicella and zoster
The meeting is open to anyone interested in vaccines and vaccine research
