Last year, European Health Ministers signed a detailed agreement designed to boost childhood vaccination across the EU. This week’s conference aims to build on the commitments made in 2011 and examine ways the EU can help to take action against vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, rubella and pertussis – all of which have made a comeback in recent years.
