As the most important tool of primary prevention, vaccination targets large number of healthy individuals in each Member State.
Currently in the European area there are many vertical projects addressing single diseases or infections, but no project in the Public Health field is addressing vaccination within a EU perspective.
There is the need to improve knowledge on how vaccinations are performed across EU, to agree on indicators for monitoring vaccination programs, to define models of decision taking process and to integrate the available information identifying gaps and added values.
The Venice project aim is to encourage collection and dissemination of knowledge and best practice relating to vaccination and to further develop collaboration and partnership between Member States.
