A lifelong approach to vaccination
Vaccines used in the EU are safe and effective. They go through a rigorous testing process before being approved for the EU market and are closely monitored after.
For over 200 years, vaccination has been one of the best ways for parents to protect their children from severe illness, hospitalisation or even death.
But vaccination is not only for youngsters. Some vaccine-preventable diseases are particularly prevalent and serious in teens or adults.
A small step, lifelong benefits
The EU vaccine scheduler can help you get informed about the recommended vaccines and boosters for every stage of life. Check with your family doctor to make sure everyone is up to date on nationally recommended vaccines.
Let’s take a small step now to bring lifelong benefits for all.
The European Union is united in many aspects of life. Today, we can also be #UnitedInProtection thanks to vaccination, which can shield our community from deadly and incapacitating diseases.
Get vaccinated: get protected
Vaccination helps our immune defences overcome a disease it may be exposed to. Even though a vaccinated person can still get ill, usually, the symptoms are milder and recovery is faster.
This is why vaccination is an important decision for us all, both as individuals and as sign of solidarity with our loved ones, friends and neighbours who, for various reasons, cannot be vaccinated. Let’s remember that our personal decisions affect them too.
The vaccines in numbers
Addressing misinformation and disinformation
Today, digital and social media channels allow information to travel faster and further than ever before. However, this can also lead to confusion and contribute to the amplification of false or misleading messages. In recent years, we have seen how this can affect vaccine confidence.
The fight against mis- and disinformation is a joint effort.
- Creating resilience against misinformation
- Listening and responding to concerns and questions
- Prebunking to seize the narrative before misinformation spreads
- Debunking misinformation that is circulating
- Working in close cooperation with online platforms
- Engaging and empowering communities to take positive action
And you can help too.
Facts Matter: Let’s decide about vaccination based on reliable information and pause before sharing anything online.
