The Global Vaccine Safety Summit will be held in Geneva on December 2-3.

The event – to be organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) – will offer an opportunity to stock of the WHO’s Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) accomplishments and look towards priorities for the next decade.

At the summit, WHO will present the Global Vaccine Safety Blueprint 2.0 strategy 2021-2030 to key stakeholders and collect their input for the final version, due for publication in the new year.

The summit is meant for vaccine safety stakeholders from around the world, including current and former members of the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS), immunization program managers, national regulatory authorities, pharmacovigilance staff from all WHO regions, and representatives of UN agencies, academic institutions, umbrella organizations of pharmaceutical companies, technical partners, industry representatives and funding agencies.
