Improving Vaccine Confidence in the Most Vulnerable Populations
Despite the historical triumph of vaccination, societal distrust in the importance, safety, and effectiveness of vaccination has resulted in lowered rates of vaccine confidence amongst populations, contributing to epidemiological shifts in the burden of vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs).
To combat this challenge, the IFA led the expert meeting, ‘Improving Vaccine Confidence in the Most Vulnerable Populations’ in Brussels, Belgium, gathering leaders of public health and patient advocacy organizations, alongside experts in immunization and health policy to discuss and determine tangible actions to improve vaccination uptake rates in the most vulnerable populations across Europe. Together, there was a commitment amongst all delegates towards key actions to improve vaccine confidence, and, therefore, vaccination uptake rates in the most vulnerable populations across Europe.
