Welcome to #VaccinAction 2025
The fifth edition of our EU initiative dedicated to strengthening adult vaccination and safeguarding the value of routine immunization across Europe.
About the Project
Building on the success of its previous editions (2021-2022 - 2023 - 2024), #VaccinAction has become a pivotal EU initiative promoting a culture of life-course immunization. The project continues to foster collaboration among stakeholders, advocate for better vaccine policies, and combat vaccine hesitancy across the continent.
Over the years, our work has helped:
- Bring the citizens’ perspective into the EU policy debate
- Expand the network of stakeholders committed to vaccine advocacy
- Raise awareness on the importance of vaccination at all ages
- Shape a shared European vision for life-course immunization
In 2024, #VaccinAction developed: A policy brief tailored for newly elected Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), addressing key public health issues related to vaccination. A Vaccination Informal Platform (V.I.P.) uniting Patient Advocacy Groups (PAGs) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) engaged in the field of immunization.
