Órbita CERFA: Is VACCINATION an option?

Is VACCINATION an option? What about the new vaccines against HPV, tick-transmitted pathogens or stationary flu? Are we over-vaccinated? Can we choose not to vaccinate ourselves or our kids? How are our decisions regarding vaccination impacting other people’s lives?

Vaccines are the greatest revolution of the 20th century. WHO estimates that vaccines protect anually more than 3 million people from deadful infectious diseases and cancer. Nevertheless, in our  “aseptic western society” some people question their role and need to avoid possible pandemic situations that could clash the world as we know it.

Here we will address the past and future of vaccines and discuss about their relevance in a globalized world.

We encourage you to participate and share your thoughts in this open discussion seminar conducted by experts from academia and pharmaceutical industry sectors:
