PROJECT OUTPUTS
Website
The Venice website will be both a result of the project and the means by which most of the results will be disseminated to the international audience. The website will be publicised by the partnership organisations who are the national bodies responsible for vaccination policy or advising on vaccination policy. Links to the website will also be made available from other appropriate websites.
The website will:
- Provide basic information from each member state on vaccination programs. Initial data will gathered from the survey.
- Display available documents in English on research / project findings, and descriptions of new methodologies from each member state.
- Display the outputs from the WPs that will be designed and developed to support national immunisation decision makers and evaluators
- Provide a link to information from national and European regulatory bodies and vaccine manufacturers.
- Provide a link to relevant information from International organisations such as the World Health Organisations and other European related projects.
- Provide a fast method of disseminating important information, for example regular news emails to people who register for this service.
- Display results of major studies of wide interest affecting confidence in vaccination programs or addressing relevant scientific issues
- Disseminate the available documents on case definitions for adverse events and their management
- Encourage the use of standard approaches to vaccination surveillance and data collection across the EU MSs.
Results of WP 3-5
WP 3: Indicators of immunisation programs
- Report on current methods on monitoring
- A report describing obstacles to comparability of uptake data e.g. different schedules both for age and type of vaccine
- Technical protocols for measuring immunisation coverage suitable for the EU
- Set of indicators to be recommended in EU for monitoring the vaccination coverages and the immunisation programs.
WP 4: Priority setting and decision-making processes
- Technical document on the decision making process on introduction of new vaccinations including minimum data sources for administrative area (region or national) to implement and evaluate its own vaccine programmes.
- The baseline information used in the development of mathematical and economic models (as above) that could be common to all member states.
- An overview of the output from modelling projects Including the dissemination of relevant results from the EU sponsored POLYMOD project to all MSs.
WP 5: AEFI and contraindications
- Case studies of AE of public concern
- A report with recommended case definition and classification of adverse events related to vaccination
- Material for training module
Workshops
Three two-day workshops will be carried out during the lifetime of the programme. The results of the workshops will be disseminated in report format via email to the VENICE network.
