“The study, more than a decade in the making, is one of the first of its kind in Canada. It’s run by the Canadian Center for Vaccinology (CCfV) inside an airlocked hospital unit at Halifax’s IWK Health Centre, which features 10 isolation rooms equipped to control infectious agents like pertussis.”

Unfortunately, due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, the decision has been made to switch the event to fully virtual this year. While we were looking forward to hosting an in-person event and are disappointed that we’ve had to make this switch, the planning committee is working to ensure this can still be a valuable learning and networking opportunity for our attendees, while keeping public health and safety at the forefront.
