3 Consultations and Roadmaps, BNU January 2018, Brussels News Updates

Open Public Consultation on “Strengthened Cooperation Against Vaccine Preventable Diseases”

Vaccine-preventable diseases are major health scourges. Due to their cross-border nature and the challenges to national vaccination programmes, there is a need for common EU action and more coordinated approaches to limit the spread of epidemics and cross-border diseases. There is clear added-value to strengthen cooperation among all relevant actors at EU level, including health authorities, the vaccine industry, research and innovation, healthcare sector and others. In mid-2018, the European Commission will adopt a proposal for a Council Recommendation on Strengthened Cooperation against Vaccine-Preventable Diseases. The objective of this public consultation is to collect the views and input of citizens, administrations, associations and other relevant organizations to feed into the process of drafting a proposal for the Council Recommendation.
