Symposium on the Science of Vaccine Safety: Bridging Across Pillars
Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology Symposium on the Science of Vaccine Safety: Bridging Across Pillars
The Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology is hosting a Symposium on Vaccine Safety, to be held October 28 to 29, 2025. The core focus of the symposium will be biological, epidemiological, and societal aspects of vaccine safety, with a goal to connect vaccine researchers in the prairies and across the four CIHR pillars to promote collaboration. A trainee poster session will also be included, with an emphasis on presentations understandable to attendees across all pillars. The Symposium will be a day and a half; the poster session will be held the afternoon of day one. A practical training Workshop on communicating with the public/patients about vaccines and vaccine safety will be held in the afternoon of the second day, after the Symposium.
The Symposium is co-sponsored by the PRAIRIE Hub for Pandemic Preparedness.
