Yellow fever vaccination decisions are rarely black and white—real-life cases often sit in the grey zone. This 90-minute webinar moves beyond practical technique and into the complexity of clinical judgment. Through a series of interactive, case-based scenarios, expert travel health professionals will walk participants through nuanced situations involving age, immunity, travel itineraries, and regulatory hurdles. Ideal for practitioners seeking confidence in decision-making about yellow fever; they will be updated about international guidelines, with peer discussion, polls, and real-world application of yellow fever vaccine strategies.

Title: Vaccine Frailty: Global Uptake and Availability in a Time of Funding Constraints

Date: Wednesday, 27th August 2025

Time: 12.00 PM EDT UTC-04 (The webinar is approximately 60 minutes)

Registration Fee:

Complimentary for members

You must register to attend. If you are not a member and wish to attend, you can create a free profile here, but membership is always encouraged.

Summary:

Recent political shifts—ranging from the firings at the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to major cuts affecting WHO, USAID, and Gavi—have rattled the global vaccine ecosystem. Funding shortfalls are disrupting supply chains, stalling rollout campaigns, and amplifying public skepticism just as misinformation surges.

This 60-minute moderated discussion, hosted by the International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM), brings together three complementary perspectives:

• Front-Line Reality (LMIC Speaker): A public-health leader from a low- or middle-income country outlines the immediate consequences of shrinking donor budgets—stock-outs, halted outreach, and rising disease risk.

• Social Science Lens: A behavioral scientist explores how institutional upheaval fuels hesitancy, the psychology of trust erosion, and evidence-based strategies to restore confidence.

• Global Policy & Practice: An immunization expert reviews the policy domino effect—what defunding means for procurement, surveillance, and international coordination—and highlights pragmatic paths forward for clinicians and travelers.
