This week (24 - 30 April 2021) marks World Immunisation Week. There has never been a more important time to recognise the huge role that vaccines play in keeping our communities safe. We have pooled a range of activities and resources related to immunisation and will be posting on social media throughout the week. Join with the official hashtag #ExploreVaccines!
Nominations are now open for the Ita Askonas Award established by the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS) and the European Journal of Immunology (EJI). This award recognises female group leaders in immunology who have run an independent laboratory for 4–8 years.
