Flavivirus infections pose significant challenges to public health. #Flavivaccine aims to deliver a safe and protective solution against diseases caused by a broad range of mosquito-borne viral infections.
During our last General Assembly online, held between September 30 and October 2, the #FLAVIVACCINE consortium shared scientific updates and discussed strategies and approaches to further advance the development of the pan-flavivirus #vaccine candidate.
