diseases has been primarily directed towards infants, children and adolescents and has become a routine Ipractice in paediatrics. In many countries, including Malaysia, adult immunisation is not commonly practised. There is a lack of awareness of the benefits of immunisation for adults, even though there is considerable morbidity and mortality within this age group due to vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccine-preventable diseases are still commonly encountered in Malaysia. The Ministry of Health Malaysia data for 2011, showed that the incidence rates for measles, hepatitis B and pertussis were 5.42, 4.32, 0.86 per 100,000 population respectively. In Singapore, it has been reported that the proportion of influenza associated

With the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID- 19) pandemic now causing major health and economic impacts across the world, efforts have been underway to make safe and effective vaccines available quickly to help curb spread of the virus. As of the date of this report, there are two COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended by the CDC. Additional vaccines may receive authorization within months. Background Federal regulation of vaccine safety began with the Biologics Control Act of 1902, which was the first federal law to require premarket review of pharmaceutical products. Since the 1902 law was enacted, federal vaccine safety activities have expanded, with the aim of minimizing the possibility of adverse events following vaccination and detecting new adverse events as quickly as possible. Today, as covered in this report, federal efforts to ensure vaccine safety include the following activities: Premarket requirements: Clinical trials, or testing of investigational vaccines in human subjects, and U.S.

The Forum brings together leaders from government agencies, industry, academia, and nonprofit and philanthropic organizations to facilitate cross-sector dialogue and collaboration through public debate and private consultation to stimulate original thinking about the most pressing issues across the spectrum of microbial threats. Despite decades of progress, the need for the Forum on Microbial Threats remains. Problems such as MERS, Ebola, Chikungunya, Zika, yellow fever, and antibiotic resistance demonstrate how the issue of emerging infections is global and unrelenting. The drivers are ever more pervasive, and the consequences—human, social, and economic—loom larger than ever. The Forum convenes several times each year to identify and discuss key problems and strategies in the area of microbial threats.
