JOIN OUR EVENT ON ADULT VACCINATION AT THE EU PARLIAMENT! Registration link (registration is free but mandatory)
Active Citizenship Network (ACN), is glad to invite you to the next EU Webinar: “Waiting for the next Council conclusions: focus on adult vaccination” on the 6th December 2022 from 14:30 – 16:00 CET. EU health Ministers will meet later this year, under the Czech Presidency of the European Council, to discuss the European institutions' commitment to the vaccination policy. The Expert Meeting on Vaccinations, which will be held in Prague on 21 and 22 November, is an excellent opportunity to ensure that vaccines are seen as a lifelong saving rather than a cost. There is a clear need to consider lifelong vaccination in these policy discussions and we appealed to Eu institutions to support the need to prioritise adult vaccination to help ensure the protection of the most vulnerable and reduce the burden on healthcare systems. Our multi-stakeholder online event, hosted by the MEPs Interest Group "European Patients' Rights & CrossBorder Healthcare, is intended to be a moment of reflection to observe and discuss the outcome of the situation, also on the basis of the documents that will come out of the expert meeting on 21-22.
Active Citizenship network has been invited to speak in the session dedicated to Promoting Life Course Vaccination Strategies as the Basis of Health Systems Resilience Across Europe. It is one of the 5 Vaccine Working Groups taking place on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd December in Amsterdam and online, in the framework of the Excellence in Pediatrics Annual conference.

JOIN ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE EVENT AT THE EU PARLIAMENT! Registration link
Supported by Active Citizenship Network andendorsed the MEPs Interest Group on "European Patients' Rights & Cross-Border Healthcare", the European Parliamentary event titled “Driving Collaboration in the Fight against Antimicrobial Resistance: Going Further, Aiming Higher” aims to create awareness of the urgent need to leverage current EU policy developments in the fight against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). The hybrid event, organized by Weber Shandwick, is scheduled at the EU Parliament in Bruxelles next 15 November, 11am-12.30pm CET. Resistance against antimicrobial treatments including antibiotics places a considerable burden on healthcare systems, society and animal health. According to a WHO Technical Report in 2019 AMR directly caused nearly 1.3 million deaths and was associated with almost 5 million deaths. The European Health Union indicated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of its top three priority health threats in the EU. Within the context of the Revision of the Pharma Legislation and the planned Council Recommendations on AMR, the objective of the event is to bring high-level European policy-makers to discuss the innovation framework for the development of new antibiotics based on concrete examples of initiatives conducted by national health authorities to fight against AMR. The event will also explore collaborative and governance models to achieve better implementation of actions and best practices for a holistic AMR approach. For more information, please write to
