In 2025 the Conference theme will be:
“Future directions for immunisation and communicable disease control: embracing ideas, innovations and improvements”
Advances in technologies and data systems means that we have increasing options available for disease control. More diseases are now preventable through new vaccines and delivery methods and immunisation product development has accelerated during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, data collection, information systems and artificial intelligence are increasingly sophisticated with more applications in the field of communicable diseases. However, at the same time as we observe these advances, we are also seeing falls in immunisation coverage both nationally and internationally, wider gaps in coverage in key populations, and familiar challenges to sharing information to enable better communicable diseases surveillance and evidence-based policy.
This conference will provide updates on advances and innovations we are making in prevention and surveillance methods for communicable diseases with a focus on immunisation strategies and data needs for disease control. We will also discuss and workshop how we can better use these innovations to address the current challenges we have in communicable diseases control and reflect on how to incorporate these into our policy and practice.
The conference will provide an opportunity for practitioners, policymakers and researchers to gather and share their knowledge and ideas, make new connections and reinvigorate existing collaborations to and work together to formulate new ways to address the challenges facing us for communicable disease control in 2025.
