About The Session:

The time taken to develop vaccines for deadly pandemics might have reduced in comparison to many pandemics in the past. If we travel back in time, we can see how the 1918’s Influenza claimed 50 million lives before any vaccine was discovered. After battling for hundreds of years, we have a polio vaccine that can eradicate the disease from the face of this world!
