Vaccines Today was launched a decade ago, in the wake of the 2009/2010 flu pandemic. During that global outbreak, there was an absence of positive vaccine advocacy on websites and social media. Ten years later, Vaccines Today’ project has grown and the need for high-quality information about vaccines is greater than ever. For these reasons, Active Citizenship Network is happy to celebrate its anniversary and so it has well accepted the invitation to join the panel discussion of the above-mentioned EU webinar, that is part of the 10-year anniversary campaign of Vaccines Today, a strong media partner of Active Citizenship Network at the EU level. Click here to join the event.
The Heart Failure Policy Network, one of the experts’ associations working with Active Citizenship Network in the commitment on the fight against CVDs at the EU level, is presenting, from 16 to 18 November 2021, the inaugural Heart Failure Policy Summit, an online conference bringing together patient advocates, healthcare professionals, clinical leaders, policymakers and other key figures in system transformation across Europe.
The EU webinar builds on the results of the first EU Project NUDGE activities and especially on the Europe-wide online survey – realized thanks to the great commitment of Cittadinanzattiva-Active Citizenship Network and its constituency – made available in 15 languages and completed by persons in 29 countries which broke fresh ground in the study of energy-related behaviour by operationalizing three theoretical models of human behaviour. The results of the survey, presented in the first NUDGE report, were used to profile energy consumers all across Europe and understand their behaviour in relation to energy efficiency and energy transition more in general.
Active Citizenship Network (ACN) is glad to invite you on 29th of October 2021, from 11.00 to 13.00 CEST, to the EU training webinar entitled "Stroke prevention & life after stroke, during the pandemic".
The event is realized in the framework of the project EU PAGs & citizens together in the fight against stroke on the occasion of the World Stroke Day: we will talk about stroke prevention, and life after stroke, with concrete examples of activities and tools that can improve the lives of patients and caregivers.

Evidence and data collected during the pandemic outbreak show that COVID-19 has had a significant impact on patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
According to an extensive worldwide survey by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the number of heart attack patients seeking urgent hospital care has dropped by more than 50% during the COVID-19 outbreak, and this was the strongest evidence yet of the collateral damage caused by the pandemic. Fear of catching the coronavirus means even people in the midst of a life-threatening heart attack are too afraid to go to the hospital for life-saving treatment.
The initiative organized by Active Citizenship Network will focus on stroke, and it could be considered the ideal follow up of the multi annual EU project on cardiovascular disease, realized with the scientific support of the Italian Society of HCPs and 20 organizations coming from 15 Countries.

In many countries, expanding vaccination pathways and providers has been met with concerns from those healthcare professionals who have traditionally led vaccination services. However, in several countries where pharmacist-led vaccination has been in place for years or even decades, this opposition has disappeared or significantly subsided, as it became clear that vaccination by pharmacists was safe, easily accessible and professional, that overall vaccination coverage increased and that the service provided value to individuals and societies. International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has advocated for a greater participation of pharmacists in the vaccination space through a variety of roles, ranging from improving community awareness and providing evidence-based advice, addressing vaccine hesitancy and concerns, distributing and dispensing vaccines, administering vaccines and updating vaccination records.
