Dr. Lisa Barrett, Professor in the Department of Medicine at Dalhousie University, calls for a bolder immunization future. The goal is bigger than avoiding infection. It is giving people the freedom to work, learn, create, and live without being derailed by preventable disease. That vision is explored by Dr. Barrett alongside Wendy Zatylny, President & CEO of BIOTECanada, with David D. Jones, Managing Director of Merck Canada, guiding the discussion. Featured in The Future of Life Sciences Expert Series, presented by Merck Canada.
