Call for Action: Life Course Immunisation Strategy

ESWI, together with the following coalition partners —the Coalition for Life Course Immunisation, the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists, the European Society for Clinical Virology, the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases, the European Specialist Nurses Organisation, the European Geriatric Medicine Society, and the International Pharmaceutical Federation— calls on EU decision-makers and all European countries to adopt a comprehensive Life Course Immunisation Strategy.

This strategy should include concrete targets for maternal immunisation, and their infant protection, adolescents, all individuals in clinical groups at risk, and older adults’ vaccination coverage against respiratory infections such as Influenza, RSV disease, COVID-19, pneumococcal invasive diseases, meningococcal invasive diseases, and pertussis by 2027.
