Episode 7 - Tarik Derrough - Bringing Vaccination Experts Together

In this episode, we sit down with Tarik Derrough - Expert in vaccine-preventable diseases - to talk about ECDC's role in coordinating disease and laboratory networks. These networks bring together experts to collaborate on various topics. We focus one type of network in particular - National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups or NITAGs - which provide technical resources, supply guidance, and make recommendations to national policymakers.  "People are now able to work together, to learn from one another, and that can only serve a better decision making process."
