Vaccination is the cornerstone of a comprehensive, responsible approach. By stimulating animals' natural immunity, we work together every day to protect the health of our shared ecosystem. However, given the rapid evolution of scientific knowledge and practices, keeping clinical teams up to date remains a challenge.

To address this ongoing need for scientific updating, our teams chose to leverage the Improve Veterinary Education platform, a global leader in veterinary continuing education. This partnership stems from a shared ambition: to make cutting-edge science accessible and directly applicable in the field.

By combining our long-standing expertise with Improve’s teaching methods, we enable practitioners across Europe to take their mastery of vaccinology to the next level, thereby reinforcing our role as a trusted partner to animal health professionals.

This unique course is delivered online and is fully led by recognized experts in veterinary immunology.The program has been specifically structured to provide up-to-date, immediately usable knowledge.

The Three Key Objectives of This Training Course

  • Master fundamental immunological concepts: gain a comprehensive overview of diseases to make informed decisions and precisely tailor vaccination protocols to each animal.
  • Ensure sound clinical decisions: strengthen daily practice by basing every medical choice on recent, rigorous scientific data. 
  • Enhancing the client relationship: establishing a transparent, educational, and reassuring dialogue with pet owners to better explain the benefits of vaccination strategies.

Immunology: a shared heritage at the heart of our daily work

By launching this excellence program, Virbac reaffirms its commitment to sharing its deep expertise in immunology with the veterinary community. We are convinced that equipping practitioners with insights into the latest advances in vaccinology is essential to evolving daily clinical practice and strengthening animal protection.

We owe this to our founder, Dr. Pierre-Richard Dick, who trained at the Institut Pasteur. Today, this unique scientific heritage continues to guide our daily work, advancing preventive medicine alongside veterinarians worldwide.
