SUMMARY:PHO Microbiology Rounds: Building Pediatric Infectious Disease Observatory
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Public Health Ontario (PHO) the PHO: Microbiology Rounds webinar series is featuring a presentation by U of T alum\, Senjuti Saha. \nSenjuti Saha obtained her PhD from the UofT Department of Molecular Genetics and did post-doctoral training at Toronto’s SickKids Research Institute and then at Stanford U. Since 2016\, she has pioneered genomics and infectious disease research in Bangladesh\, and her work includes discovering chikungunya virus as the cause of pediatric meningitis and sequencing Bangladesh’s first SARS-CoV-2 genome during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the deputy executive director of the Child Health Research Foundation (CHRF) in Bangladesh\, she and her team are currently developing a state-of-the-art “Infection Observatory” to enable the rapid and accurate detection of emerging and endemic pathogens of concern. In her talk\, she will address healthcare inequities including access to healthcare innovations and how building research capacity in resource-limited settings can transform global health challenges into opportunities for impactful\, scalable solutions. \nDate and time: February 13th\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM \nLocation Virtual via Zoom \nRegister here via the event page.

SUMMARY:Mpox vaccination in Ontario: clinical\, community\, and research perspectives
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 outbreak of mpox in Canada disproportionately affected gay\, bisexual\, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Recognizing that the GBMSM group is at high risk of exposure\, Ontario deployed the two-regimen modified vaccinia ankara–bavaria nordic (MVA-BN) vaccine\, first in June 2022 and next in September 2022. Vaccine uptake\, however\, has remained low\, especially for the second dose\, despite increases in cases and continuing transmission. \nThis Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases (CVPD) webinar will be moderated by CVPD associate director and EPIC member Jeff Kwong\, who will be joined by fellow EPIC member\, Darrell Tan\, along with Ramandip Grewal\, Devan Nambiar and Mac Stewart for a discussion on the clinical aspects of mpox\, perspectives from the community\, and findings on how to reach those at risk to help increase vaccine coverage. \nDate and time: February 25th\, 12:00 – 1:30 PM \nLocation: Virtual \nRegister here via CVPD!
