Welcome Note Dear Friends Over the years, the field of Vaccination has undergone enormous expansion in clinical and basic data, as well as that of field-related technology. With the problem of diseases reaching epidemiological dimensions, treatment possibilities have digressed diversely. This development has created a need for debates on the numerous controversial issues, and to attain clinical conclusions. The intention of the 1st International ference on Current and Future Vaccination in Adults (CoVAC) is to function as an exclusive forum for international experts to share and compare experiences, in order to outline appropriate treatment. A conference that focuses on clinical controversies is an entirely new concept. It is embarked upon primarily to facilitate effective debate on unresolved clinical and therapeutic dilemmas, resulting in agreement over all issues, and supported by evidence-based medicine and opinions of experts. After each speaker, ample time will be provided for discussion, and participants will have the advantage of conversing and debating unresolved issues with world authorities in their fields. The ference aims at reaching the ultimate state-of-the-art solutions, and providing clinicians with conclusive recommendations and reliable solutions, all based on current paramount significance. We invite you to participate in the 1st International ference on Current and Future Vaccination in Adults (CoVAC), which is intended as the first of many future conferencees in this field. We look forward to an exciting scientific event in the beautiful city of Berlin. f. H. Lode Germany Chairmen f. E. Rubinstein Canada 2
