This public health Keynote brings together experts to examine the crucial role of vaccines in population health and explore how recent changes in immunization schedules, vaccine uptake, and public confidence are influencing the resurgence of preventable diseases. Host Dr. Sabine Jamal will moderate a dynamic conversation between Dr. Noele Nelson and Dr. Ana Bento, integrating vital perspectives from public health advocacy, vaccine policy, and disease modeling.
The session will explore vaccines as essential tools for disease prevention and control, lessons learned from the COVID‑19 vaccine rollout, vaccine safety considerations, and the broader implications of declining vaccination coverage across populations. Our panel will also discuss the role of epidemiological modeling, public health advocacy, and strategic communication in guiding vaccine policy and public health interventions.
