At this follow-up to the National Adult and Influenza Immunization Summit (NAIIS) May 2nd virtual meeting on COVID-19 vaccines, we are inviting as many as 9 companies to present their latest clinical trial data. We will feature presentations from companies with COVID-19 vaccine candidates in later clinical trial phases (Phase 2/3) as well vaccines in earlier phases of clinical development. We are asking all companies to present on their clinical data, explain their technologies, provide information, as available, regarding vaccine storage and handling, and information on timelines for clinical trials that are ongoing or planned for the near future.
This meeting will be moderated by Phyllis Arthur, Vice President, Infectious Diseases & Diagnostics Policy, at BIO. We at the Summit are delighted and grateful for this opportunity to collaborate with BIO on this important virtual meeting.
Please register as soon as possible, registration will be closed at 4pm on September 8th. The webinar is open to all NAIIS members. All registrations will need to be reviewed and approved prior to confirmation of registration.

Impact of COVID-19 on Adult Immunization Coverage Rates and Update from CDC on Influenza Communications for 2020–21
July 30, 2020
Although the data showing the dramatic impact of COVID-19 in reducing routine pediatric immunization coverage rates are clear, less information has been available on adult immunization. At this virtual meeting, a panel of 6 vaccine manufacturers presented their data on the impact of COVID-19 on adult immunization coverage rates in the United States and internationally. The presenters also included information on potential directions they plan to take in the fall to address the steep declines in adult immunization coverage rates that have been observed. In addition to this panel, Becton-Dickinson provided information on their ongoing work to ensure a stable supply chain of syringes and needles this fall, and CDC presented on their communications plans for the upcoming influenza season.
