E-Mail As Canada marks National Immunization Awareness Week, a new investment from Merck Canada to the University of Toronto's Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases (CVPD) at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health (DLSPH) will support research, education, and knowledge translation around vaccine science and help communicate the importance of immunization as a cornerstone of public health. Merck Canada's $3-million investment will help the Centre's diverse mix of public health researchers to better understand the decision-making of individuals and communities around whether and when to receive immunizations. With expertise in vaccine science, social and behavioural health, equity, and health systems, the Centre's faculty members will produce scientific research to aid the Ontario government, policy-makers and public health advocates around the world in increasing public knowledge of and access to immunizations.
