Last week, Australia’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Professor Paul Kelly was kind enough to participate in an ‘Ask the CMO’ session at the PHAA Communicable Disease and Immunisation Conference 2022, held in Sydney.

The focus of the discussion, hosted by PHAA President Adjunct Professor Tarun Weeramanthri AM, was the development of the Australian Centre for Disease Control (And Prevention).  It was attended by an actively engaged audience, with many questions posed and comments made.

 

Watch the full 30 minute session below.
