Hot topics & Green apples in rotavirus

The Vaccine Research Unit of the HealthResearch Institute of Santiago de Compostela [Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de Santiago (IDIS)], supported and sponsored by Sanofi Pasteur MSD, developed an interactive cloud-based platform for real-time interaction with an international panel of experts on a particular topic through any device (computer, mobile app).

The topic of the first edition was “Rotavirus and Rotavirus-Vaccines”,  and it was carried out with the active contribution of Prof. Adam Finn (University of Bristol, United Kingdom), Prof. Carlo Giaquinto (University of Padova, Italy) and Prof. Timo Vesikari (University of Tampere, Finland), all of whom are leading experts in the field of infectious diseases and vaccinology, particularly, rotavirus.

 The expert's panel identified three thematic areas for discussion:

  1. Safety, Effectiveness, Vaccines
  2. Recommendations and Practical Application
  3. Take-Home Messages and Future Challenges
