Professor Mike Catchpole, Chief Scientist of ECDC, presented to the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee of the European Parliament during an exchange of views on vaccination.

​This meeting was designed to offer a place to exchange the latest information on into the development of narcolepsy following vaccination with one of the 2009 adjuvanted influenza A(H1N1) vaccines.

​Experts from ECDC met representatives from influenza vaccine manufacturers to discuss prevention of influenza in Europe.

This online course was developed because seasonal influenza vaccination of health care workers (HCWs) is recommended in Europe but vaccination uptake remains low in most countries.
