Towards influenza vaccination programmes for health care professionals

The question at the centre of the summit was "Why is it so difficult to achieve influenza vaccine uptake levels in healthcare workers that would reduce or eliminate the risk of transmitting the disease?” Experts from various fields took the stage at this interesting and animated gathering.

The Influenza Diabetes community Commitment Paper

The Influenza Diabetes community is a joint partnership of leading diabetes and healthcare professional organizations, and ESWI to better protect people with diabetes against influenza. The IDC community commitment paper represents a first but important step.  

The IDC community will be present at the 7th ESWI Influenza Conference in Valencia with a satellite symposium on Influenza in persons living with diabetes: pathogenesis and prevention.
