IMAC Symposium: Winter Preparedness 2026

The Immunisation Advisory Centre invites you to the Winter Preparedness Symposium 2026, to be held at the Holiday Inn, Auckland Airport on 3 March 2026.

This one-day event will focus on vaccinations for influenza, COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses prevalent during Aotearoa’s winter season.

The Symposium is now a well-established event on the immunisation professional development calendar and attracts a combined audience of around 300 health professionals. This includes a variety of practitioners and researchers from areas such as public health, occupational health, Ph*rm*cy and general practice.

The Symposium will be of interest to practitioners and researchers from areas such as public health, occupational health, Ph*rm*cy and general practice. It’s also a great opportunity to catch up with your colleagues working in immunisation. We'd love to see you there, either in-person or online.

This year’s topics will include:

• Influenza in the NZ context: patterns of disease and immunisation coverage
• International influenza: global surveillance and overseas trends
• Seasonal influenza vaccines: conventional, enhanced, needle-free and future options
• Update on the SHIVERS-VI project
• International updates on COVID-19 and RSV vaccines
• Examples of service delivery success
