The WVPA Asia Meeting
In recognition of the importance of poultry production in Asia WVPA decided in 2011 to hold a regular meeting in Asia. The first WVPA Asia Meeting was held in October 2012 in Bangkok, Thailand and was co-hosted by the TPVA (Thai Poultry Veterinary Association) and WVPA.
The inaugural meeting took ‘Poultry Vaccination’ as its theme and was attended by some 145 delegates from 15 countries – this had risen to over 350 delegates at the 2016 meeting in Manila.
At the Manila meeting in 2016 it was agreed by the attending Asian branches, to set up a structure under which the Asian branches would have more control of this event.
