Asia is a remarkably diverse region. Our countries share many common characteristics in terms of population dynamics, climate, environmental exposures, infectious disease burden, and socioeconomic challenges. At the same time, we differ considerably in culture, health systems, immunization policies, resources, and access to vaccines. These similarities and differences create valuable opportunities for us to learn from one another and to develop vaccination strategies that are scientifically sound, locally relevant, equitable, and responsive to the needs of our populations.

Beyond the scientific program, ASVAC 2027 will offer participants the opportunity to meet colleagues, develop professional networks, and build lasting partnerships within the regional and global vaccine community.

Pattaya, one of Thailand’s premier seaside destinations, offers a welcoming combination of beautiful coastal scenery, vibrant culture, excellent hospitality, and convenient conference facilities. As the host society, PIDST looks forward to greeting every participant with the warmth and hospitality for which Thailand is well known.

We sincerely hope that ASVAC 2027 will be an inspiring, productive, and memorable meeting. We look forward to welcoming you to Pattaya in May 2027.
