Members are involved in vaccine and program development, program evaluation, social science of vaccine use and training of the next generation of vaccinologists. CAIRE’s mission is to encourage and enhance vaccinology research so Canadians have timely access to new and improved vaccines and optimal programs. CAIRE promotes collaboration and networking amongst the vaccinology disciplines to ensure that suitable expertise exists to maintain Canada as a world leader in high quality vaccinology research. Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) The CPS is the national association of paediatricians, committed to working together to advance the health of children and youth by nurturing excellence in health care, advocacy, education, research and support of its membership. As a voluntary professional association, the CPS represents more than 3,000 paediatricians, paediatric subspecialists, paediatric residents, and other people who work with and care for children and youth. Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) Founded in 1910, CPHA is the independent voice for public health in Canada with links to the international community. As the only Canadian non-governmental organization focused exclusively on public health, CPHA is uniquely positioned to advise decision-makers about public health system reform and to guide initiatives to help safeguard the personal and community health of Canadians and people around the world. CPHA’s mission is to enhance the health of people in Canada and to contribute to a healthier and more equitable world. Public Health Agency of Canada The Agency is responsible for promoting and protecting the health of Canadians through leadership, partnership, innovation and action in public health. Through our research, programs and services, our goals are to bring about healthier Canadians, reduced health disparities, and a stronger capacity to deliver on and support public health activities. CANADIAN IMMUNIZATION CONFERENCE 2014 • FINAL PROGRAM ABOUT CIC One hundred years ago, infectious diseases were the leading cause of death worldwide. In Canada, they now cause less than 5% of all deaths – largely thanks to vaccines. From December 2-4, 2014, public health practitioners, health care providers, vaccine providers, researchers, immunization policy-makers and program managers, vaccine manufacturers, academics, students and other stakeholders who contribute to Canada’s vaccination system will gather in Ottawa, Ontario at the 2014 Canadian Immunization Conference to demonstrate their commitment to immunization as an important public health measure. Immunization protects individuals and communities by preventing the spread of disease. As more people are immunized, the disease risk for everyone is reduced. Immunization has probably saved more lives in Canada in the last 50 years than any other health intervention. Immunization is the single most cost-effective health investment, making it a cornerstone in the effort to promote health. The ongoing occurrence of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks makes CIC 2014 an important venue to discuss the recurrence and emergence of infectious diseases that are posing challenges for public health at all levels. Critical to our degree of preparedness are an ability to continue to develop and improve vaccines, strengthen public health surveillance systems, and support timely and practice-relevant immunization program research, as well as an encouraging of evidence-based and ethical policy and practice measures to help us better control infectious diseases and improve public confidence in vaccines. CIC 2014 will bring together non-governmental organizations, vaccine manufacturers, provincial and territorial immunization policy and program planners, as well as professionals from the many disciplines involved in the immunization field. Conference Goals CIC 2014 will provide: • a dynamic setting to profile new research, successful strategies and best practices, to inspire innovation and to encourage further collaborations; • a venue for new and returning vaccination stakeholders to collaborate, innovate and help shape the future of Canada’s vaccination research, policies and programs; and • an inclusive networking and knowledge exchange forum at the national level to identify, discuss and troubleshoot current vaccine- and immunization-related issues across a range of disciplines and sectors. Learning Objectives Having attended CIC 2014, delegates will be better prepared to: • utilize effective evidence-based programs and best clinical practices as well as policy approaches; • describe vaccine related research and identify colleagues and partners to develop initiatives; and • identify vaccination-related challenges and solutions, trends, emerging issues and evidence gaps.
