What's New in 2010

NPP: News & Policy & Profiles

We have extended our News&Policy section to also include Profiles of vaccine-related organizations. Profiles appear in the format of an interview and may describe private companies as well as academic, governmental or non-governmental organizations. Our first organizational Profile presents the European Vaccine Initiative (EVI). If you would like to see your company/organization being profiled in Human Vaccines, please contact Eva Riedmann.

The N&P&P section covers the latest developments in the world of vaccines in all segments from research to clinical to public health, academia and government, biotech and industry, and in addition report on relevant events and awards. This new monthly section will continue throughout 2010 and beyond.

We will accept News and Policy/Opinion articles for N&P&P on shorter notice than for our regular articles in order that the content of this section can be as current as possible.

If you would like to contribute an opinion piece relevant to the field of human vaccines or if your company/organization has any important news to share now or in the future, please directly contact Eva Riedmann and/or provide us with your press-release.
