CVPD & UNICEF - Routine Immunization: Reaching Every Child, Everywhere

On April 20th, we took a first look at UNICEF’s latest findings on immunizations, and hosted a discussion about the current status of routine immunization coverage in Canada. Co-hosted by the University of Toronto’s Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases and UNICEF Canada in the lead-up to World Immunization Week 2023, this webinar provided a platform to share lessons learned during the pandemic, pressing issues, and best practices on the road to recovery.
Speaker presentations were followed by an interactive Q&A session.
Speakers:
Dr. Ephrem Lemango, Associate Director and Chief of Immunization, UNICEF
Dr. Shannon MacDonald, Associate Professor, Nursing and Adjunct Professor, School of Public Health at the University of Alberta
