About this Program

The third edition of the International Workshop on COVID-19 Vaccines 2022 took place from 7 - 8 June 2022 as a virtual program.

Despite the incredible success that vaccines have had in preventing COVID-19 and saving lives, there are still many knowledge gaps to be addressed for improved pandemic preparedness. The International Workshop on COVID-19 Vaccines 2022 aims to increase knowledge and facilitate discussion on the many aspects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines among virologists, infectious diseases specialists, community, and policymakers. Emerging clinical data, the impact of vaccination and boosting on COVID-19 country rates, the durability of immunity, vaccine safety and side effects, vaccines in children, pregnancy as well as high risk patients, and the impact of new virus variants on protection are just a few of the topics that are covered in this workshop.

This was done in the truly global context of the COVID-19 pandemic, considering regional differences in access to vaccines, health systems, public health policies and hesitancy to vaccinations.

The first two editions of this workshop were exceptionally successful in gathering experts and discussing the many aspects of vaccine development and rollout in 2021.
