We are delighted to build this new relationship with our long-standing partner
MSD Animal Health has deepened its long-standing relationship with WSAVA, becoming a Diamond Partner. The company, which has been a committed sponsor of the WSAVA Vaccination Guidelines Group (VGG) since its inception in 2006, is also a longstanding supporter of the WSAVA’s Continuing Education Committee (CEC).
Commenting, Dr David Sutton, Global Technical Director at MSD Animal Health, says:
[blockquote author=”” link=”” target=”_blank”]We sponsor the VGG because we believe there is a need for global guidelines to expand and improve the general knowledge and understanding of the immunological principles behind vaccination, as well as a need for independent expert guidance on the scientific evidence underpinning vaccination best practice. We also recognize that providing high-quality and relevant CE to veterinarians with limited access to many of the existing resources is a key role for the WSAVA. However, we’re also keen to support the evolution of the CE program in order to develop other methods of delivery alongside the traditional face-to-face format. This will benefit a much larger audience and enable the most cost-effective use of resources moving forwards.[/blockquote]

Dr Shane Ryan, WSAVA President, adds:
[blockquote author=”” link=”” target=”_blank”]The WSAVA and the veterinary profession are indebted to MSD Animal Health for its generous and wholehearted support. The company’s recognition of the importance of evidence-based scientific information regarding companion animal vaccination, and its willingness to enable the VGG to work with academic independence has enabled the committee to make an outstanding contribution to the understanding of vaccination requirements and the practice of veterinary medicine globally. Providing high-quality postgraduate continuing education for veterinarians in regions where it may be difficult to access is also a core focus for the WSAVA. MSD’s support of our Continuing Education Committee will help us to deliver on our ambitious global goals for 2020. Thank you, MSD Animal Health.” [/blockquote]
