Join us for a new webinar in the AFSA–HealthforAnimals veterinary vaccines series, this time focused on Latin America. Building on our October 2024 global webinar, this session will highlight key global initiatives to transition to non-animal methods s for veterinary vaccine batch-release testing and explore how these can be adopted in LATAM countries.
We will discuss theoretical aspects reflected in current regulations and guidelines, share practical case studies where animal tests have been successfully replaced, and highlight opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between industry and regulatory agencies. The webinar will offer consecutive translation between English/Portuguese and Spanish to support regional participation.
