Rebika Nepali outlines a few of the conference highlights below:
I had such an enriching experience attending the Communicable Diseases and Immunisation Conference 2024, Brisbane. I had the great opportunity to network with many inspiring individuals. Some key highlights from the conference include (my personal experience):
Speaker Tiahni Adamson shed light on “Caring for the country in a climate crisis” with insights from the First Nations community and emphasised how listening to the needs of people is important in decision-making.
As we know 2024 is 50th anniversary of “Expanded Program on Immunisation” EPI, Journey from Smallpox and Polio eradication and prospects for Measles elimination by Professor Peter McIntyre is worth reflecting on.
