On 8 May 2026 in Rome (Italy), Cittadinanzattiva presented its 8th Annual Pharmacy Report, promoted together with Federfarma and with the unconditional support of Teva Pharmaceuticals. The report, based on a survey involving nearly 2,000 pharmacists and more than 1,000 citizens, offers an in-depth overview of the ongoing transformation of community pharmacy in Italy.
The findings confirmed the increasingly central role of pharmacies as trusted healthcare reference points within local communities, providing not only medicines but also prevention services, vaccinations, telemedicine, diagnostic activities and support for therapeutic adherence. Notably, 81.7% of citizens stated that they regularly rely on the same pharmacy because of the trust-based relationship established with pharmacists.
As part of #VaccinAction2026 EU project, Active Citizenship Network organised the event “Precision vaccinology as a new paradigm: which role for patients’ involvement?”, bringing together experts, patient advocates, healthcare stakeholders and representatives of civil society to discuss the future of vaccination in Europe.
The debate focused on the emerging concept of precision vaccinology, an innovative approach aimed at tailoring vaccination strategies to individual characteristics, risk profiles and population needs, with the potential to improve vaccine effectiveness, confidence and uptake. Participants explored how scientific advances, digital tools and data-driven approaches can contribute to more personalised and effective prevention policies.
