Join us for an insightful presentation on perinatal immunisation, bringing together healthcare professionals from different specialties to discuss the critical role of immunisation during pregnancy and infancy, where the ultimate goal is to protect the health of the mother and the baby in the first 6-12 months of life.
We will talk about respiratory illnesses like influenza and pertussis and explore how to address the 30% gap in RSV immunisation coverage, as well as the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in protecting mothers and infants.
