Immunisation protects children from dangerous and potentially fatal infections such as polio, measles, whooping cough, and tetanus. By taking Immunisations, children build immunity against certain diseases, lowering their risk of infection. Immunisation does not only protect those who have been vaccinated, but it also helps to prevent infectious diseases from spreading in the community. When a significant number of the population is vaccinated, diseases are less likely to spread, which reduces the load on the healthcare system and healthcare costs for families and the government. Here are some of the most important immunisations for children you should know about. ? Diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis) (DTaP) ? Polio (IPV) ? Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) ? Chickenpox (varicella) ? Influenza (flu) every year ? PCV for pneumococcal ? Menactra for meningitis ? Hepatitis A ? Gardacil/cervarix for HPV ? Dtap for pregnant women (whooping cough ?

The Steering Group on Influenza Vaccination commends the initiatives outlined in the Council Conclusions on the Future of the #EuropeanHealthUnion. To fully achieve these ambitions, we are calling for: ? Promotion of #immunisation as a primary prevention tool in communicable and non-communicable diseases at all stages of life. ?Increased effort in combating mis & dis-information ?Investment in specialised health workforce training ?Increased development of innovative digital tools & uptake of digital health literacy for both HCPs and patients ?Recognition of the role of respiratory infection prevention through vaccination in performance-based antimicrobial stewardship

Each year on July 28, we observe World Hepatitis Day—a platform for advocacy, education, and action against viral hepatitis. ?? *An estimated 304 million people live with hepatitis B or C, yet testing and treatment remain out of reach for many??. This year's theme, "It's time for action," emphasizes the urgency to combat this growing threat. Action Steps: - Expand access to testing and diagnostics to ensure more people can get the treatment they need. - Strengthen primary care prevention efforts through vaccination, safe infection practices, and education. - Decentralize hepatitis care by utilizing community-based services to bring care closer to patients.
