WORKSHOP 5

Disease Prevention A to V – putting a value on Life Span Immunisation

Wednesday, 03.10.2012 | 18:30 - 20:00 | Congress Centre 1

Outside of the paediatric setting, vaccination is still on the sidelines of health agendas, despite the on-going focus on disease prevention. However, with cost and value objectives increasingly driving health policy across Member States, the potential value of life span immunisation needs to be assessed.

• What are the benefits to the individual, in terms of time and cost of recovery gained?
• How does this translate to healthcare systems and Europe as a whole?
• And moving one step further, what would be required to set up a life course vaccination schedule in countries across Europe?

This workshop will aim to address these questions and map out a recommendation for future action in Europe.
