Congratulations to Dr Nicaise Ndembi on his recent appointment as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Public Health in Africa!

The Journal of Public Health in Africa is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality original articles, reviews, comments and opinions on public health and related issues in Africa. In 2018, Africa CDC signed an agreement with the publisher, Page Press, to make the journal its official journal. While Page Press continues to take responsibility for publishing, Africa CDC manages the editorial oversight and peer review system of the journal. This initiative by Africa
CDC is to contribute to the increase in scientific knowledge and networking between Africa and the global community, ensure that public health research in Africa is adequately and accurately reported by Africans, and encourage more researchers from Africa to publish articles in the journal.

Vaccination plays an important role in the management of infectious diseases. Lessons from HIV on preparedness, hesitancy and ethics play a crucial role in preparing a population for vaccination. The arrival of the COVID-19 vaccines provides a fascinating example.
This webinar will explore some of the experiences of vaccine programmes for both HIV and COVID-19 and the ethical issues around vulnerability, equity of access, hesitancy and field experiences with vaccine initiatives. This is a highly topical issue with learnings from the HIV pandemic.

The programme presents four perspectives from world-leading experts with expertise in both HIV and COVID-19. We are privileged to have the current head of the International AIDS Society examine ethical issues and a wide range of perspectives from Prof. Gray (South Africa), Dr. Ward (France), Prof. Kamarulzaman (Malaysia) and Dr. Bonner (United States).

The 2nd webinar on "Vaccines and Vulnerabilities - HIV COVID and Back" is set to take place on Thursday, 1 July 2021 at 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST. Complimentary registration is provided by AIDSImpact https://virology.eventsair.com/aidsim2021ws/registrationjuly/Site/Register
