A new textbook edited by Pierre Van Damme, Paolo Bonanni, and Jade Pattyn provides practical and theoretical information on vaccination programs in the WHO European region, updates on established and new routine vaccines for adults, and covers individual-risk based vaccination for various patient groups.
This textbook provides a comprehensive reference on adult vaccines and immunization practices tailored to the European context. The reader is guided from assessing the health burden of vaccine-preventable infections to evaluating the cost-effectiveness of new adult vaccination schedules, introducing and establishing such initiatives, and communicating and managing vaccination programs. The authors update on routine and new vaccines for a number of common pathogens in Europe, such as SARS-CoV-2, RSV and influenza, and also provide information on travel-related vaccinations. The book discusses in detail individualized, risk-based vaccination for different patient groups and also provides insights into current pipeline development, and an outlook on the future prospects for adult vaccination.
