#VaccinesWork
Vaccination is the main tool for primary prevention of disease and one of the most cost-effective public health measures available. The European Commission organises, in cooperation with the World Health Organisation, a Global Vaccination Summit in Brussels.
Vaccinations for kids and adults.
EU confidence and Anti vaxxers debate!
The event takes place under the joint auspices of the European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker and WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The overall objective of Global Vaccination Summit is to give high level visibility and political endorsement to the topic of vaccination. This is the most successful public health measure saving millions of lives every year. It will demonstrate EU leadership for global commitment to vaccination, boost political commitment towards eliminating vaccine preventable diseases and engage political leaders and leaders from scientific, medical, industry, philanthropic and civil society in global action against the spread of vaccine misinformation.
Coalition on Vaccination
A “Coalition for Vaccination” was convened in spring 2019. It brings together European associations of healthcare workers as well as relevant students associations. The Coalition supports accurate information to the public, the exchange of best practices on vaccination and it is combating myths.
