One Health Day

One Health Day is an international campaign co-coordinated by the One Health Commission, the One Health Initiative Autonomous pro bono Team and the One Health Platform Foundation. The goal of One Health Day is to bring attention around the world to the need for One Health interactions and for the world to ‘see them in action’. The One Health Day campaign is designed to engage as many individuals as possible from as many arenas as possible in One Health education and awareness events, and to generate an inspiring array of projects worldwide.

Climate Change, Migration and Health Symposium

Climate-induced migration will be a central feature of the 21st century, with grave consequences for global health. The crisis in Syria was precipitated by a 1,000 year drought; we should expect more such crises in the years to come. On September 28, the Harvard Global Health Institute will host a symposium on Climate Change, Migration and Health. Dr. Jennifer Leaning, Director of the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, will deliver the keynote address. Expert panels will address the humanitarian response to climate-induced migration, the implications for law and policy, and the imperative for improved empirical research to better understand this growing crisis. A continental breakfast will be served at 8:30am and the program will begin at 9:00am. A brown bag lunch will be provided after the program is concluded at 12:30pm.

Pandemic Preparedness – Improving Science, Technology, & Access Seminar Series: Ethan Settembre, Seqirus

Seqirus is the 2nd largest influenza vaccine company in the world with a rich heritage in influenza dating back to the Spanish flu pandemic (through its parent company CSL). With manufacturing plants in the US, UK, Germany and Australia, it is a transcontinental partner in pandemic preparedness and a major contributor to the prevention and control of influenza globally. Seqirus recently announced innovations in cell-based influenza vaccine development at commercial scale using a candidate vaccine virus (CVV) that has been isolated and grown in cells, rather than in eggs. This accelerated development of cell-based technology quadruples influenza vaccine output in just two years, strengthening US preparedness against pandemic threats. The company is also leveraging its global manufacturing network to supply pandemic stockpiles and other preparedness services to governments around the world. Ethan Settembre is the Vice President of Research at Seqirus.
