Vaccines Europe - 22 Jan 2016
With the changing demographic structure of the EU population and the rising threats of emerging medical needs such as antimicrobial resistance and healthcare associated infections, there is a fundamental need to define mechanisms capable of prioritising and advising on innovative vaccines needed to protect public health.
The impact of a Joint Action and collaboration at EU level should be to foster innovation for a social purpose at least on three levels:
I. Better prevention and health outcomes from diseases that can be avoided;
II. Sustainable healthcare systems and freeing of resources for medical innovation; and
III. Sustained research and industry investment in the interest of public health needs as to ensure the sustainability of immunisation programmes.
