Modern vaccines are safe and effective. Join Dr Brian Ferguson and colleagues to find out how they work to protect against infectious diseases. Our stand, in partnership with the British Society for Immunology (BSI), will help to explain the immunology behind vaccines.

Children will be able to play games while discovering about the antibodies and T cells that our immune systems make to fight pathogens.

Suitable for all ages; tickets are not required.

We look forward to seeing you and all the family!
