Event details
In low-income countries the efficacy of vaccination against important pathogens is reduced compared with high-income countries, limiting their health benefits. New technology is beginning to unravel the role of human genetic variation, microbial exposure and nutrition in determining the immune response to vaccination. This meeting will discuss these scientific advances and develop a research agenda for more effective vaccines and vaccination strategies.
