SUMMARY:Canadian Immunization Conference
DESCRIPTION:Canadian Immunization Conference\nDecember 1-3\, 2020\nShaw Centre\nOttawa\, Ontario\, Canada\n  \nImmunization protects individuals and communities by preventing the spread of disease. As more people are immunized\, the disease risk for everyone is reduced. Immunization has probably saved more lives in Canada in the last 50 years than any other health intervention. Immunization is the single most cost-effective health investment\, making it a cornerstone in the effort to promote health. \nThe ongoing occurrence of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks makes CIC 2020 an important venue to discuss the recurrence and emergence of infectious diseases that are posing challenges for public health at all levels. Critical to our degree of preparedness are an ability to continue to develop and improve vaccines\, strengthen public health surveillance systems\, and support timely and practice-relevant immunization program research\, as well as an encouraging of evidence-based and ethical policy and practice measures to help us better control infectious diseases and improve public confidence in vaccines. \nFrom December 1-3\, 2020\, over 900 delegates will connect\, collaborate\, share and learn\, the innovative scientific program will engage and inspire future research\, policies and practices. To facilitate knowledge exchange and engagement\, the Organizing Committee engages with experts and thought-provoking speakers who will inspire and challenge delegates. \n  \n  \nRegistration Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?\nCIC 2020 is a forum for researchers\, professionals and policy makers to present\, share and exchange the latest cutting-edge information in Canada’s vaccination system.

SUMMARY:3rd WHO Infodemic Management Conference
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has gravely affected our societies and economies. It has been accompanied by an infodemic\, an overabundance of information\, including misinformation. Rapid amplification and dissemination of information and misinformation online\, in a time when people are more socially distanced than ever before and relying on their phones to connect to the world\, is adding a new concerning dimension to the infodemic. \nIf people act on false health information they hear or see\, it can impact their health\, and if enough people do not follow health guidance\, it can prolong this pandemic. Until a vaccine or vaccines are widely available to the public and widely accepted by the public\, we continue to be at risk of both the infodemic and the pandemic. \nAs our lives\, communities\, organizations and countries are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic\, we recognize the critical need to act with fierce urgency in solidarity\, unity and commitment to equity to mitigate this infodemic.
