Fourth ESWI International Conference devoted to influenza to be held in Malta.The meeting will provide comprehensive scientific coverage of all disciplines involved in influenza prevention, control and treatment. Top-level scientific sessions with specific attention for new developments are the core of the conference. Additionally, the conference has a clearly delineated programme for public health officials and opinion leaders in health care work. These sessions also cover a broad field of interest and will certainly include an evaluation of the H1N1 influenza pandemic.

Vaccination
from Fabio Bagnoli and Rino Rappuoli writing in Vaccine Design: Innovative Approaches and Novel Strategies
Vaccination, together with the wider availability of potable water, has had the most profound positive effect on the quality of public health of any measure: during the past century, these products essentially eliminated most infectious diseases causing mortality in infants and children. Vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, pneumococcus, hepatitis B and meningitis (Haemophilus influenzae and serogroup C meningococcus) have reduced the incidence and mortality of these diseases by > 97-99% (Fabio Bagnoli and Rino Rappuoli). Nevertheless, perception of vaccines in the public opinion is not completely positive. Many people are still skeptical about the real need of vaccines. This behavior has been particularly evident during the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic in 2009.
