TARRANT AGM
Every spring TARRANT Viral Watch hosts its Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM brings together sentinels, public health representatives, laboratory personnel and researchers interested in influenza.
Decisions made at the AGM help determine the direction of TARRANT for the upcoming season. It’s a great opportunity for sentinels to share their experiences in the program and meet other participants.
