Best practices in vaccine production for smallpox and other potential pathogens

Overview

The G7+ Global Health Security Action Group Workshop on “Best Practices in Vaccine Production for Smallpox and Other Potential Pathogens” which is being hosted by the Paul Ehrlich Institute and co-organized by the German Ministry for Health and Social Security, the European Commission and the World Health Organization is designed to provide a platform for sharing scientific expertise and for coming up with strategies and points to consider for countering the bio-terrorist threat more effectively. Many meetings dealing with related issues have been organized recently at the national level and at the level of the European Union, the Pan American Health Organization and the World Health Organization. These meetings have provided an enormous amount of valuable scientific and other information.
