OFFLU Avian Influenza Matching (AIM) for Poultry Vaccines
The WOAH/FAO Network of Expertise on Animal Influenza (OFFLU) is organizing a webinar on the Avian Influenza Matching (AIM) for Poultry Vaccines on 10 July. The event will introduce the OFFLU AIM project, provide a technical overview, discuss its limitations, and establish a feedback forum for stakeholders.
Launched in 2022, the OFFLU AIM provides up-to-date information to the poultry sector, governments, and vaccine manufacturers on antigenic characteristics of circulating avian influenza viruses including comparisons with vaccine antigens. This information facilitates selection and updating of appropriate vaccines for poultry.
These reports assist decision-makers and FAO and WOAH Members in developing evidence-based guidelines and policies for effective vaccination strategies. The webinar featured two sessions to accommodate participants from different time zones.
The first session took place at 9:00 CEST, while the second session, tailored for participants from Latin America and the Caribbean, included Spanish translation and was scheduled for 16:00 CEST.
