BCG: Into the Next Century
 
The BCG vaccine was developed more than 100 years ago to combat tuberculosis (TB) and is the most commonly administered vaccine in human history.   
Recent breakthroughs in research suggest that BCG may be an unexpected tool for combating more than just TB. This century-old vaccine shows promise in applications against type 1 diabetes, newborn sepsis, infant allergies, asthma, and more. 
 
On May 6th, join leading experts as they share insights from their research and examine how BCG could be deployed optimally in the years to come.

Gorgeous! We busted around mid October and the leaves were begging to change. Everything was so well kept and picture perfect. They had flowers I&rsquo;d never seen before. They were so pretty!! Enjoyed walking around here for a while!

Peggy's Cove

我见青云多妩媚

Peggy&#39;s Cove is a must-see attraction when visiting Halifax. The lighthouse is on a small island, facing the sea, with beautiful scenery. There are souvenirs and local specialty products on the tower, and it is meaningful to buy some as souvenirs. There are restaurants around, but they are crowded, so we didn&#39;t go. There are also special lobsters, freshly caught from the sea, cooked for you in time, it is very necessary to try them.
