Submit an abstract to the 2025 Annual Conference on Vaccinology Research
The Annual Conference on Vaccinology Research (ACVR) will be held in Washington, DC, from May 5-7, 2025. This conference brings together multiple groups involved in vaccine research, including academic researchers, frontline healthcare professionals, vaccine manufacturers and public health officials.
As this conference enables the exchange of ideas across a broad range of disciplines, it offers an excellent opportunity to share your research. The planning committee is accepting abstract submissions until Feb. 12.

- Register for the conference or submit an abstract.
- See if you are eligible or apply for the Maurice R. Hilleman Early-Stage Career Investigator Award.
Infodemic management courses
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an infodemic is “an overflow of information of varying quality that surges across digital and physical environments during an acute public health event.” All major health problems that impact the public have the potential to be accompanied by an infodemic.
For this reason, the WHO created a series of videos to educate interested health workers on this topic in order to prevent, prepare for and respond to current and future infodemics. The videos cover:
- Infodemic management 101
- Addressing health misinformation
- Developing an infodemic insights report
- Social marketing and message testing methods
- Defining a taxonomy for social listening
- Using human-centered design good practices
- Working effectively as an infodemic manager in the field
The range of topics makes these resources applicable to many in the healthcare field.
Comprehensive vaccine-related resources available from PIDS
The Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) provides two useful resources to increase knowledge about vaccines and address vaccine hesitancy:
- The Collaboration for Vaccine Education and Research (CoVER) is a web-based curriculum designed to increase healthcare providers’ knowledge about vaccines. The 19 modules cover topics from vaccine fundamentals to specific vaccine-preventable diseases as well as vaccine communication. Registration is free.
- The Vaccine Handbook: A Practical Guide for Clinicians (12th Edition), by Gary S. Marshall, also known as “The Purple Book,” has been refreshed for 2025. It is accessible as a searchable PDF and includes important updates related to vaccine availability and hesitancy. The first section of the book focuses on general principles of vaccinology and vaccine practice, while the second section addresses each disease and the vaccines available to prevent it.

Updated Resource! "Administering Vaccines: Dose, Route, Site, and Needle Size”
Immunize.org maintains many invaluable resources when it comes to administering vaccines. Once such example was just updated in December. “Administering Vaccines: Dose, Route, Site, and Needle Size” is a single page document that can serve as a quick reference tool to ensure that routinely recommended vaccines are administered properly.
- Bookmark this page or print and laminate a copy to post by your vaccine or needle supply.
- Check out the treasure trove of vaccine administration resources offered by Immunize.org.
