See you in Cebu
for ASVAC 2023!

The Asian Vaccine Conference, also referred to as ASVAC, is an event organized by the Immunization Partners in Asia Pacific (IPAP), in partnership with several key organizations and agencies. ASVAC serves as a platform for sharing the latest research, developments, and collaborative efforts in immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD).

With the theme "Closing in, Renewing the Vaxx-P.A.C.T.," ASVAC 2023 aims to further reinforce discussions on critical issues and areas of concern in immunization to another step towards achieving the IPAP's vision of "a world where no person shall suffer from vaccine preventable diseases."

We look forward to seeing you in the event!

How and Why Vaccines Work: Basics of Immune Responses and Mechanisms of Vaccines

Vaccination is intended to prepare the immune system for the battle against the potential future attack by the real “invaders”. The immune system is a complex defense mechanism which protects us from the attacks of a “foreign threat” and in which many “soldiers” interact with each other to eliminate the invaders.
