The value and importance of adult immunisation has generated active debates and discussions over the past year. Now it’s time to hear the latest science and data on vaccine technologies, barriers to immunisation, including hesitancy to vaccinate, and much more.
From March 21st until March 23rd Active Citizenship Network will be in Stockholm to take part in the ”Potential benefit of simulation techniques for scientific validation and comparative studies of different methods in mass-casualty management” workshop in the framework of the NIGHTINGALE project. The workshop will consist of the simulation of a terrorist bombing of a hotel and of a civilian mass shooting. The goal of the simulation is to illustrate the whole chain of mass-casualty management.
