Life-course immunisation
Immunisation protects people’s health at every stage of life – children, adolescents, adults, older adults, people with chronic health conditions, and pregnant women. More than 20 infectious diseases and infection-associated cancers are preventable by vaccination.
Acute respiratory infections
Acute respiratory infections are a health threat that we’re already witnessing, and vulnerable populations are especially susceptible to them
Adult immunisation
It is estimated that in 2060, 30% of Europeans will be 65+ (nearly 130 million people)
Vaccine-preventable cancers
40% of all cancers are preventable and vaccination is a proven preventive measure for both the human papillomavirus (HPV) and the hepatitis B virus (HBV)
Value of vaccination
Immunisation has saved 154 million lives over the last 50 years – that’s 6 lives every minute, and has had a huge positive impact on public health.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on people’s lives and on healthcare systems throughout the world
Travel vaccination
In 2023, over 1.2 billion people travelled for tourism. While travelling abroad, people can encounter a number of health risks.
