The remarkably rapid development of the COVID-19 vaccine has fueled enthusiasm about ending the pandemic. Yet, many questions remain elusive. Keep pace with this evolving area and join the COVID-19 Vaccine Development & Implementation Workshop 2021 from 16 - 17 February. You will hear about the current understanding of vaccine-provided protection, how emerging variants should be monitored, and which approach to take in order to get the maximum public health benefit out of the current vaccination programs.

The Stop TB Partnership Working Group on New TB Vaccines (WGNV) and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)are co-hosting a workshop on the topic of Recognition and Control of Mtb Infected Cells: From Basics to the Clinic. This workshop is intended to address the need for correlates and to identify platforms that measure recognition or control of the infected cell - especially in humans - as identified in the EDCTP/AIGHD Global Roadmap for Research and Development of New TB Vaccines and the Strategic Framework for New TB Vaccines in the Stop TB Partnership Global Plan to End TB 2023 - 2030. 

The overall goals of this workshop are to: 

• elucidate the mechanisms by which the immune system recognizes the Mtb-infected cell 
• explore the degree to which such recognition can lead to control of the intracellular microbe, and 
• discuss the translational implications of these observations 

The workshop format will be largely discussion-based. Each session will have three short presentations that will provide a high-level overview of key topics within the session theme, followed by a discussion between the session chairs, speakers, and participants.

This workshop is free of charge and open to any participants interested in this topic.
