Vaccination & Health Security
CPME Chair of Working Group on Vaccination: Dr Jacques DE HALLER (CH)
CPME Secretariat: Mr Markus KUJAWA
Tackling health threats requires good preparedness and coordinated cross-border action. In the event of a possible pandemic, clear and evidence-based information is vital. Rising threats can be prevented through the implementation of focused programmes, as in the case of childhood vaccinations.
Vaccination is a safe and efficient public health measure to protect individuals and populations from vaccine-preventable communicable diseases. CPME is co-chairing the Coalition for Vaccination which brings together European associations of healthcare professionals.
