Vaccines against respiratory infections

Hot topic
Chairs: L. Huiart (Strassen, Luxembourg), T. Welte (Hannover, Germany)
Aims: to address confidence in the use of vaccines; to report new vaccines against TB; to present the significant effects of pneumococcal vaccines on disease incidence, antibiotic resistance and microbial epidemiology; to discuss how uptake of the annual influenza vaccine has been variable, passive immunisation may be more effective than antiviral agents and future vaccines may soon be sufficiently generic to avoid the need for annual vaccination.
