The first of our four-part 2022 Healthy Immune Ageing Masterclass series took place on Wednesday 11th May 2022.

There were nearly 8.5 million Australians aged ≥ 50 years in 2021 highlighting the importance of understanding health in an ageing population.1

Join us for a discussion with Dr Sarah Chu and Dr Daman Langguth about healthy ageing and the impact that ageing has on both an individual’s susceptibility to infectious diseases and decreased response to vaccination. As healthcare providers, we have opportunities to partner with our patients to jointly increase ‘healthspan’ along with their lifespan.
