Although vaccination has been proved to be a safe, efficacious, and cost-effective intervention, immunisation rates remain suboptimal in many European countries, resulting in poor control of many vaccine-preventable diseases.
The Summit of Independent European Vaccination Experts focused on the perception of vaccines and vaccination by the general public and healthcare professionals and discussed ways to improve vaccine uptake in Europe. Despite the substantial impact and importance of the media, healthcare professionals were identified as the main advocates for vaccination and the most important source of information about vaccines for the general public. Healthcare professionals should receive more support for their own education on vaccinology, have rapid access to up-to-date information on vaccines, and have easy access to consultation with experts regarding vaccination-related problems. Vaccine information systems should be set up to facilitate promotion of vaccination.
Every opportunity to administer vaccines should be used, and active reminder systems should be set up. A European vaccine awareness week should be established.
尽管疫苗接种已被证明是一种安全、有效且具有成本效益的干预措施，但在许多欧洲国家，免疫接种率仍未达到最佳水平，导致许多疫苗可预防疾病的控制效果不佳。
独立欧洲疫苗接种专家峰会聚焦于公众和医疗保健专业人员对疫苗及疫苗接种的认知，并探讨了提高欧洲疫苗接种率的方法。尽管媒体有重大影响和重要性，但医疗保健专业人员被视为疫苗接种的主要倡导者以及公众获取疫苗信息的最重要来源。医疗保健专业人员应在疫苗学自身教育方面获得更多支持，能够快速获取有关疫苗的最新信息，并能方便地就疫苗相关问题向专家咨询。应建立疫苗信息系统以促进疫苗接种的推广。
应利用每一个接种疫苗的机会，并建立主动提醒系统。应设立欧洲疫苗宣传周。
