🧬 At #ESWI2025 Late Breakers: Novel and Outstanding Discoveries, Rory de Vries highlighted the importance of boosters for pandemic preparedness and immunity
His study: Adjuvanted inactivated H5N8 vaccine induces antibody & T-cell responses to emerging H5N1 viruses in HCWs💉
💉 During “Unlocking the Value of Vaccines as a Tool to Support the Management of #NCDs” at #ESWI2025, Stefania Maggi urged action:
“It’s very disturbing — and we are not there yet.”
A powerful reminder that prevention through vaccination remains unfinished business 💪
#Vaccines
Brilliant presentation by Nathalie Verzele, University of Melbourne, at #ESWI2025 on neuronal infection with influenza A H1N1 pdm 2009.
In animal studies she could show that infection of nerve cells may influence host response and symptomatology.
