Vaccines for Ruminants
The IVVN’s third annual conference, originally scheduled for March 2020 in Hanoi, Vietnam, was unfortunately cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, we decided to host the conference programme as a series of online symposia.
The third IVVN virtual symposium was hosted on Monday 26 April and covered Vaccines for Ruminants.
Thank you to our chairs, IVVN co-director Professor Bryan Charleston (The Pirbright Institute, UK) and Professor Yanmin Li (The Southwest Minzu University , China), for introducing the talks and moderating the question-and-answer sessions. Thanks also to all our speakers and poster presenters for their fantastic presentations, and to our sponsors for their support. And, of course, thank you to everyone who attended and contributed questions during the symposium.
