We’re excited to share the latest on the EUVABECO project in our first newsletter. Some significant achievements so far: 🚀Kickoff meetings that initiated project organization and the pilot phase 📊Mapping of public health findings to guide large-scale vaccination practices. 🛠️ Public release of the draft implementation plans for the pilot phase. Next Steps: Piloting Implementation Plans Across Europe! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dBCnH7Ak #EUVABECO #Vaccination #Innovation

🚀 We’re thrilled to announce the official start of EUVABECO’s pilot phase, with draft implementation plans now publicly available! These plans, which you can find in the resource section of our website, are designed to guide the rollout of five essential tools to strengthen vaccination programs across EU Member States. 🛠️ From 2024 to 2025, pilot projects will rigorously test each plan in diverse, real-world settings, ensuring they meet the needs of countries across Europe. Upon project completion in 2026, we’ll release the finalized plans, empowering Member States to bolster their vaccination initiatives with flexible, reliable tools. 🌍 With these new resources, EUVABECO aims to support countries in shaping more coordinated, robust, and resilient public health responses. #EUVABECO #Vaccination #HealthInnovation Ministério da Saúde de Portugal, Sciensano, Universität des Saarlandes, Uniwersytet Jagielloński (Jagiellonian University), Linköping University, University of Thessaly Laboratory of Hygiene and Epidemiology, Rīga Stradiņš University, University of Crete, Wroclaw Medical University, Agence eSanté Luxembourg, Vaccines Europe, SYADEM, FRATEM ASBL, @Cimbiose https://lnkd.in/dZndS83m

On 7-8 October, EUVABECO partners gathered at Linköping University, Sweden, to officially launch the pilot implementation phase of the project! After months of collaboration developing draft implementation plans, this event marked a key step forward. We're eager to move ahead with the pilot phase and look forward to sharing our draft implementation plans publicly by the end of October! 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gdkai7-Q #EUVABECO #vaccination #innovation

During the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the biggest challenges was the uncertainty around how well different measures – such as vaccination campaigns and lockdowns – would work. Policymakers had to make tough decisions without knowing exactly what the outcomes would be, which sometimes led to less-than-ideal results. To improve decision-making, some countries turned to mathematical models. ln Germany, Universität des Saarlandes, developed a “compartmental model” to predict how COVID-19 would spread and affect the population.  As part of the EUVABECO project, this model is now being expanded to cover multiple infectious diseases. In collaboration with partners in Greece, Luxembourg, Poland, and Portugal, comprehensive implementation plans are being developed to guide countries in using these modelling tools. 🚀 Our first draft of the plans will be released in October 2024 – providing critical insights to help countries respond more effectively to future health crises. 🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dvRxR_Sf #EUVABECO #PublicHealth #DiseaseModelling #Forecasting #InfectiousDiseases #GlobalHealth

Ensuring patients can make informed decisions and healthcare professionals can administer vaccines accurately is crucial. Delivering vaccine information in the patient's and health professional's language is a vital step in achieving this. Starting in October 2024, EUVABECO will pilot Electronic Patient Information Leaflets (ePIL) in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Latvia, and Portugal. The ePIL offers the same essential information as traditional paper leaflets but with significant advantages: - Real-time updates: Ensures patients and health professionals always have the latest information, unlike paper leaflets that can become outdated. - Efficiency: Reduces production time, simplifies logistics, and streamlines vaccine re-routing. - Space optimization: Minimizes packaging, freeing up refrigeration and storage capacity. Sustainability: Cuts down on paper use and energy consumption, enhancing environmental sustainability.

🌟 This morning in Vaccines Today 🌟 some of EUVABECO’s European Vaccination Card (EVC) experts and implementers describe the EVC and share insights on its September 2024 pilot launch in five countries - Latvia, Greece, Belgium, Germany, and Portugal. 🔍 The EVC is a key component of the broader EUVABECO initiative to enhance vaccination management and preparedness for future health threats. 📈 By leveraging lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and fostering new technologies, EUVABECO aims to pave the way for a healthier and more resilient future for all Europeans. #EUVABECO #EuropeanVaccinationCard #HealthcareInnovation #GlobalHealth #VaccinationManagement #HealthSecurity Sally J.

📢 Optimizing Vaccination Campaigns through Data Linkage 📊 As the COVID-19 pandemic intensified, Belgium took an innovative approach by linking databases from various sources at the individual level. This allowed for detailed analysis and personalized insights, enabling the identification and vaccination of high-priority groups, and effective monitoring of vaccination progress and effectiveness. Building on this success, EUVABECO’s partner Sciensano, the National Public Health Institute of Belgium, is collaborating with partners in Luxembourg, Poland, Greece, and Portugal to adapt this model to their national surveillance systems. Each country is tailoring their strategies to fit their unique healthcare infrastructures and needs, aiming for pilot implementation in September 2024. Through these pilots, EUVABECO is creating implementation plans that aim to enable broad adoption across all EU Member States. These will be released in 2026. 👀 Want to know more?

🌍 EUVABECO Consortium Update: A Milestone Meeting in Brussels 📅 This week, EUVABECO convened in Brussels, hosted by Sciensano, Belgium's national public health institute and key EUVABECO partner. This marked a crucial point in our journey since the consortium's launch in January 2024. 👥 The meeting brought together over 40 representatives from EUVABECO’s 14 partnering institutions across Europe, as well as four Expert Advisory Board members - one of whom traveled from the USA - and our Project Adviser from the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA). 🗣️ Beyond the formal agenda that addressed critical organizational and implementation topics, participants also took advantage of the opportunity for informal exchanges. ✨ These dynamic exchanges are instrumental as we move towards pilot project implementation. They not only deepen our collective insight into the challenges we face but also enhance our ability to collaboratively overcome them. #EUVABECO #vaccination #innovation #collaboration https://lnkd.in/d2cKWpuf

EUVABECO is set to launch European Vaccination Card (EVC) pilot projects in Latvia, Greece, Belgium, Germany, and Portugal. The EVC is designed to empower individuals by giving them control over their vaccination data, facilitating the management, review, and sharing of their vaccination records as needed. By providing citizens with accurate and current vaccination information, this tool aims to foster informed decision-making, enhance healthcare continuity, and reinforce confidence in both national and European vaccination strategies.
