💉 Vaccination remains underfunded, accounting for approximately 0.5% of national health budgets in Europe.

This was one of the key takeaways from keynote speaker Professor @colinrussell at yesterday’s event ‘Adult immunisation as a pillar of cardiovascular prevention: towards il Recommendations’, hosted by MEP @hadjipantela at the @Europarl_EN.

Alexandra Olson, our Project Manager, and Julia Prieto, our Policy and Projects Assistant, joined the event, promoted by the @activecitnet as part of its #VaccinAction2026 project. The discussion highlighted the urgency of concrete action to protect our citizens:
▪️Vaccination should be incorporated into routine health checks to close the gap between vaccination needs and actual uptake.
▪️Better data collection and coordination through the @ECDC_EU are needed to measure disease burden, vaccination coverage and outcomes.
▪️Clearer communication, better understanding of vaccination benefits and risks, and locally targeted prevention can improve public confidence and participation.
▪️Greater investment in vaccination could help prevent avoidable disease and reduce pressure on health systems and the health workforce.
▪️As the population is aging, all data points at how cost-effective adult vaccination will be for EU member states.

It is now time to move beyond recommending only influenza vaccination and to implement concrete measures on adult immunisation, particularly for people at higher risk of cardiovascular complications.
