Progress in Global Immunization - 2014 John Yu Oration and Medal Ceremony
In August, the 2014 John Yu Oration and Award will be hosted by The George Institute for Global Health. The Award, created in recognition of Dr John Yu AC, celebrates the former Chair’s leadership and passion for the Institute’s work.
