Kreijtz et al. J. Inf. Dis. 2008 CONCLUSIONS VACCINATION

• was introduced more than 200 years ago

• aided in reducing the infectious disease burden and mortality

• in a highly cost-effective way

• even allowed the eradication of two major viral diseases

• is not yet available for the majority of infectious diseases © by author • will help controlling existing and newly emerging infections • makingESCMID optimal use Online of novel technologies Lecture Library CONCLUSIONS Global pandemic preparedness :

• Societal measures

• Surveillance (animal and human)

• Use of multiple antiviral stockpiles (resistance monitoring) © by author • Rapid production and use of pandemic vaccines ESCMID(novel technologies!!!) Online Lecture Library
