Mission statement
Vaccines Today provides the public and healthcare professionals with information on vaccines and vaccination. It addresses common questions and aims to bring together Europe’s community of immunisation stakeholders and experts.
The content of Vaccines Today is produced through interviews with experts from academia, clinicians, advocacy groups and industry, along with reports on scientific literature. Guest contributions are written by external experts and reviewed by the Vaccines Today team before publication.
We do not offer medical advice. The information provided on Vaccines Today is designed to support, not to replace, the relationship that exists between a patient and their physician.
Who we are
Vaccines Today is produced by an editor, in consultation with an independent Editorial Board composed of experts. We are members of Vaccine Safety Net, a global network of websites, established by the World Health Organization, that provides information on vaccine safety.
Editorial board
The Editorial Board steers the editorial policy of Vaccines Today, supporting the work of the Editor. This involves planning, creating and editing content, and setting the tone for the publication. The members of the Editorial Board contribute on a voluntary basis. They are selected by the Editor.
