Immunization Advisory Committee
We are committed to advancing evidence-based immunization practices and policies to protect public health across the populations we serve.
What we want to achieve
We are dedicated to strengthening immunization programs and vaccine confidence through evidence-based research, clinical guidelines, and policy advocacy. By bringing together leading immunologists and healthcare practitioners, we work to optimize vaccination strategies, enhance safety monitoring, and address barriers to immunization access. Our committee serves as a trusted resource for healthcare professionals, providing authoritative recommendations that improve vaccination rates and protect vulnerable populations from vaccine-preventable diseases.
We envision a future where every individual has access to safe, effective vaccines and where preventable infectious diseases no longer pose significant threats to public health. Through collaborative research and evidence-based advocacy, we strive to eliminate barriers to immunization and maximize the protective benefits of vaccines for all communities

Europe must unite in its efforts to address undervaccination. The stakes are high, and the time to act is now.
