E-DRUG: Full program UU-WHO winter meeting 9+10 January 2018 now available
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear E-Druggers,
We are happy to share with you the full and final programme (see below) of the UU-WHO Winter Meeting which will take place on 9+10 January 2018 in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
The second day of this meeting is dedicated to vaccines, as previously announced. Since decades vaccines have been in the middle of many policy, regulatory and public health debates. There are many proven benefits from vaccines for individuals and society at large. But there are also issues, often highly controversial, e.g. whom to vaccinate, (long-term) safety, confidence in regulators or economics, that make vaccines a powerful, cross-cutting learning device for pharmaceutical policy and regulation. We are delighted that we have found an array of excellent speakers willing to participate and shed their lights on this important topic from their own perspectives.
On the first day of the meeting, submitted abstracts will be presented and discussed in the morning and afternoon (oral and poster presentations). Abstracts can be submitted until 1 December 2017.
