The ADS pre-congress scientific workshop offers three themes around the science behind dengue infection and host immunity, developing recommendations for universal vaccination and the partnerships that drive public health policy.

There will be lectures followed by a question and answer session or a panel discussion to enliven the scientific exchange.  We believe that the line up of speakers with their experience and expertise will make your attendance worthwhile.
