Opening Session 

<p>Vaccine development against SARS-CoV-2 has drawn the global attention in order to stop the spread of the virus, with more than 10 vaccines that have been tested in phase III clinical trials, as of November 2020. However, critical to vaccine development is consideration of the immunological response elicited as well as biological features of the vaccine. In this presentation, Prof Safadi highlights some of the common features, challenges and complications in COVID-19 vaccine development which may be also relevant for future vaccine developments.&nbsp;</p>

COVID-19 Vaccines: Lessons learned from Real-World experience

<p>A case of 1 year 6 month-old male patient presented with 1 month history of fever, lower limb weakness, rash, loss of appetite and weight loss. CSF study showed leukocytosis and lymphocytosis. Brucella melintensis was isolated from blood and CSF culture. The patient was started on IV ceftriaxone, oral rifampin and Bactrim. He defervesced 3 days after starting anti brucella regimen. His ataxic gait started to improve after 1 week of anti brucella regimen and it normalized in 2 weeks. The patient received 6 weeks of IV antibiotics post first negative blood cx, then discharged home on oral bactrim and rifampin to continue a total course of 9 months. Neurobrucellosis needs to be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of fever of unknown origin involving neurological symptoms and systemic involvement.&nbsp;</p>
