The MVEC and SAEFVIC teams are deeply saddened by the passing of Prof David Isaacs.

David was not only a well respected paediatric infectious diseases expert, he was also a fierce defender of the rights and wellbeing of children, and a mentor and friend to many. The MVEC team was honoured to have David as a special guest at our 2019 Clinical Vaccinology Update.

His contributions to vaccine policy as member of ATAGI, PBAC and Polio Expert Panel in support of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative leave a lasting legacy.

MVEC acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands on which we live, work and educate. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
We are committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas.
