Over the years, vaccines have been known to prevent diseases in infants and children; while adult vaccination has an underestimated role in preventing diseases in communities. Vaccination curb the risk of illnesses, disabilities, hospitalisation and even death that can follow viral diseases, which helps in having a healthy community and limits the economic burden of such diseases.

The 2nd Annual Saudi International Vaccination Forum is the first initiative in the Middle East region to gather policy makers, regional and international experts and professional associations to share and discuss recent updates, international guidelines in the field of  vaccination, updates about new vaccines and highlight the importance of implementation of  vaccination in our region.

The forum will provide an exceptional scientific program that will cover sessions such as ethical issues in vaccination, vaccination in travelers, influenza vaccination, pneumococcal vaccination, meningococcal vaccination, HPV vaccination, vaccine surveillance, vaccine forecasting and handling, vaccination in special groups and much more through interactive presentations, panel discussions and educational workshops.
