Despite the 2009 Council Recommendation that seasonal influenza vaccination rates should be improved for the elderly, at risk groups and health care workers, there remains a concerning sub-optimal level of influenza vaccination coverage across Europe with 15,000-70,000 people dying each year due to influenza. These worrying facts led to the creation of a multi-stakeholder Steering Group on Influenza Vaccination, whose members are committed to raising awareness of influenza-related public health issues and encouraging stronger policy driven actions at European and national level in support of influenza vaccination. One of the Steering Group's tasks is to draft an EU Manifesto on Influenza Vaccination, a tangible means of aligning the community on the shared policy requirements to protect European citizens from influenza. The idea of developing a Manifesto will be presented during this satellite symposium. Participants will be invited to give their input to this initiative either during the symposium or in advance via an online survey.
