MVEC Director Prof Nigel Crawford and Education Nurse Coordinator Rachael McGuire recently travelled to Mongolia as part of a workshop with Mongolia’s National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (NITAG) and Ministry of Health.

Facilitating with colleagues from Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and the University of Melbourne, the 5-day program focused on NITAG strengthening, optimising pneumococcal prevention and response, health economics, vaccine safety, and communication. 

The international collaboration and support for evidence-based immunisation policy was a wonderful way to celebrate World Immunization Week! We look forward to the ongoing collaboration and continued learning. 

This project was supported by the Gates Foundation. Thank you to UNICEF for the invitation.

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.
