๐ฃ New article now in Frontiers #Tuberculosis ๐ฃ We held a #workshop to ask experts from countries with a high TB burden what #epi, #impact, #feasibility and #acceptability data they would need to decide whether to introduce new TB #vaccines ๐๐งฎ frontiersin.org/articles/10.33โฆ

Did you miss the #UCL/London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine #WorldTBDay Symposium this year? Worry not! You can watch all the sessions here ๐ (I would definitely recommend the presentation around 3 hours 42 minutes in if you like #modelling and #vaccines!) youtube.com/watch?v=ClpRthโฆ


Fantastic news that new vaccines for #TB will be included in GAVI's future portfolio. Huge credit to Dr Marta Tufet Bayona , her team and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance ! Glad to support @AllisonPortnoy Rebecca Clark Nick Menzies and all London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine CMMID LSHTM TB Centre Vaccine Centre rb.gy/dm4pk8

Subclinical tuberculosis is ~half of prevalent TB, could make people sick and cause transmission So, it is crucial to understand whether new TB vaccines prevent subclinical TB and what it means for global impact Find out how more in our new paper in The Lancet Microbe

LSHTM TB Centre Seminar Series resumes ๐ 10th Sept โฐ 12.45 BST Rebecca Clark "Estimating the epidemiological & economic impact of scaling up a nutritional intervention for TB affected households across India" Do join us in person or online! tinyurl.com/yd3na9yz
