👉 Healthcare providers (HCPs) play a key role in delivering information about vaccines to the public, which in turn greatly influences the decision-making process for vaccinating. However, it has become increasingly clear that not all HCPs are equally well equipped with information, knowledge and support, to perform this important task. Within the EU Joint Action on Vaccination, we want to improve responses to vaccination challenges in a sustainable way.

🤓 Knowledge on vaccination starts with education. Therefore, we want to investigate the topic of vaccines in the curriculum of future HCPs in Europe. For this purpose, we have developed an online survey that targets medical, pharmacy, nurse and midwife students. The specific aims are to investigate (1) awareness on vaccination recommendations, (2) vaccinology in the curriculum and (3) attitudes towards vaccines.

📢 We are looking for medical, pharmacy, nurse and midwife students to fill in our ** Student Survey on Vaccine Hesitancy **

Why? With the Centre for the Evaluation of Vaccination, we are part of the consortium of the EU Joint Action on Vaccination. Our contribution is situated at the level of education on vaccination of pre- and in- service healthcare workers in Europe. In order to estimate how the topic of vaccination is organised within the curricula of future healthcare workers.

The specific goal of the survey is to question medical, pharmacy, nurse and midwife students on:

✏️ Their awareness on vaccination recommendations
✏️ Vaccinology in their curriculum and
✏️ Their attitudes towards vaccines

Participation will take less than 5 minutes.

Thank you in advance for your help and to share the survey!

With many of us having spent the past couple of months cooped up wondering when or even if life will ever go back to normal- a COVID-19 vaccine seems like the only way out. Tune in to the Public Health Pillar’s second instalment of its webinar series; this time focusing on the realities of developing a vaccine against COVID-19. To help us navigate a discussion on this dynamic field, we have invited an expert, Prof. Pierre Van Damme from the European Joint Action on Vaccination (EU-JAV).

EU-JAV is a consortium of 20 partners (17 EU member States and 3 non-EU member states) coordinated by Inserm (French National Institute of Health and Medical Research) and co-funded by the Health Program of the European Union. This 3 year-long project (1st August 2018 – 31st July 2021) plans to accomplish its aims of life long health and European collaboration on universal vaccine coverage and access, maintaining stocks, setting priorities for research and enhancing confidence in vaccination through 8 work packages targeting both healthcare workers and the public.
