Addressing declining immunization rates requires insight, education, and action. By supporting evidence-based education, fostering collaboration, and sharing practical solutions, we can help strengthen routine childhood vaccination and improve vaccine uptake across Europe.
Routine childhood immunization is facing growing challenges. Declining vaccination coverage, increasing vaccine hesitancy, and barriers to access make it harder to protect children against vaccine-preventable diseases. Continued education, collaboration, and evidence-based action are essential to improving vaccine uptake.
Build trust through evidence-based communication and accessible information that helps families make informed vaccination decisions.
Equip clinicians with practical training, resources, and tools to confidently address questions and improve vaccine uptake.
Reduce logistical and administrative barriers to make vaccination accessible, convenient, and integrated into routine care.
Use real-world evidence and frontline experience to strengthen immunization strategies and public health decision-making.
Strengthening pediatric vaccination requires coordinated action across healthcare systems. uilding public confidence, improving access, supporting healthcare professionals, and advancing evidence-informed policies are all essential to increasing vaccine uptake and protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases.
2026 Report
Promote evidence-based communication and address misinformation to help families make informed vaccination decisions.
Reduce practical and systemic barriers to ensure every child can receive recommended vaccines on time.
Equip healthcare professionals with up-to-date guidance, educational resources, and effective communication tools.
Strengthen immunization strategies through surveillance, research, and policies that support equitable vaccine delivery.
Sustaining high immunization coverage requires coordinated efforts across healthcare systems. Focusing on these areas can help improve vaccine uptake and protect more children.
Clinicians are the most trusted voice families turn to when making vaccination decisions. Giving them the time, training, and confidence to have clear, evidence-based conversations at the point of care is one of the most effective ways to improve uptake.
Coverage gaps often reflect practical barriers as much as hesitancy, missed appointments, inconsistent follow-up, or limited availability in primary care settings. Making vaccination easier to access and harder to miss keeps more children protected on schedule.
Uptake depends on families trusting the information they receive and the system delivering it. Consistent, transparent communication about vaccine safety and value helps counter misinformation and rebuilds confidence where it has eroded.
