The late Professor Michael Day was a highly-respected and much-loved figure in the WSAVA, serving as Treasurer on the Executive Board and Chair of the Vaccine Guidelines Group (VGG) at the time of his death in 2020.

As a tribute to him, we have launched a Scholarship in his name. Open to veterinary students around the world, it provides financial assistance to enable the Scholar to carry out research into an aspect of small companion animal infectious disease, clinical vaccinology or immunology, subjects that Professor Day championed throughout his distinguished career.

With this in mind, we are delighted to launch this annual Scholarship in small companion animal infectious diseases, clinical vaccinology, and immunology in his memory.

“We are grateful to MSD Animal Health, the long-term committed Partner of the VGG, for supporting this Scholarship and believe it provides a richly deserved and enduring professional legacy for Professor Day. It is a fitting tribute to our greatly missed friend and colleague.”
