One Health webinar: Vaccinations for One Health
Event information
Date & location
From 2:00pm to 5:00pm CET
Virtual
One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of humans, animals, plants and ecosystems. The approach mobilises multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health of human, animals and ecosystems.
This webinar sets out to explore the connection between a One Health approach and the vaccination world. With a multisectoral and multidisciplinary approach, international speakers will delve into different topics – such as vaccination hesitancy and inclusiveness, virology and vaccine development, human and animal vaccines, public health, science communication on RNA vaccines, and many others.
