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.

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