Leaders and activists engaged in social, civic and patients associations, parents, teachers, health workers, bloggers and popularizers: everyone can commit to disseminate correct scientific information, ready to defend the importance of vaccination from the wave of misinformation that is being spreading for some years.

• with the cooperation of its constituency of national citizens’ organizations in various European countries, hold 4 focus group on the specific theme of the life-course immunization approach in the national immunization plan and make an exchange of information on how is it organized in that country compared with other countries. The aims is find together proposals and gather impressions, suggestions, advices on that aspect and provide institutional and health care stakeholders with: the strengths/weaknesses of national policies and plans on life course - vaccination for each selected country; the common elements or specificities that affect a greater or lower success of this approach in the different countries.
