HHS Webcast: National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) Meeting

 

 

# 2746

 

 

 

Tomorrow, February 4th, 2009  the HHS will host a webcast of the Vaccine Safety Working Group Meeting.

 

It is apparently scheduled to run roughly 4+ hours, which may make it difficult for some to attend.

 

In any event, I plan to catch as much of it as I can.   Here is the information.
