MEPs establish life-course immunisation group at the European Parliament

A new Interest Group on Life-Course Immunisation has been launched, aiming to add political momentum to wider vaccine uptake at all stages of life. 

Across Europe and around the world, there is a growing realisation that vaccines are not just for kids. People of all ages can benefit from immunisation – a fact reflected in a growing number of national vaccine calendars. However, there is a wide range of policies in this field, and significant variation in the uptake of vaccines for older people.
