WS 12 - Vaccination and Transmission Control

Vaccination against and control of vector-borne transmission of infectious agents are prime staples of infection control. The speakers in this session will present their exemplary experience with the development of novel vaccines (tuberculosis, ebola), the acceptance of vaccination in the population, or with implementing vector control measures (dengue, malaria). The goal is to distill, from these diverse experiences, a consensus on what works best and what doesn't work in infection control, and to discuss best practice examples for overcoming obstacles identified by the speakers.
