Event programme

Learn more about the importance of adult immunisation and how it aligns with the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing

Welcome

A warm welcome to the fifth edition of Vaccine Virtual Days, a global event dedicated to adult immunisation.

This years' event is pivotal to GSK as it seeks to align to a bigger global health call to action – the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030). This global contribution, synchronised with the last ten years of the Sustainable Development Goals, aims to improve the lives of older people, their families, and the communities in which they live.

The four-day programme will span across three time zones, providing a global perspective deeply informed by local expertise, knowledge and experience. The comprehensive agenda has been designed to be highly informative, offering the latest data and insights within the adult immunisation space. You'll hear from internationally-recognised experts as they discuss and debate challenges, opportunities and future of adult immunisation. CPD credits will be granted for this event.

Together, let's amplify the importance of adult immunisation and contribute to the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing.
