Last week a few of the CIRG team ventured down to Sheffield for the UK Vaccine Network Conference.

It was two engaging days filled with diverse and insightful presentations on vaccine research!

It was also lovely to see Dr Sutherland and Dr McCance chair one of the sessions.

Vaccines have saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years. That’s 6 lives every minute.
