NEED FOR HARMONIZATION OF CHILDREN’S VACCINATION SCHEDULE IN EUROPE Pierre Van Damme, H Theeten University of Antwerp, Centre for the Evaluation of Vaccination, Antwerp, Belgium The introduction of immunization programmes in Europe has resulted in a major decrease in the incidence of several infectious diseases. To control infections at a European population level, vaccines should be offered in a structured way to reach target age cohorts swiftly and comprehensively, and across national borders. The wide variety of immunization schedules across Europe reflects the different national or regional approaches of the Member States; historically, nations have had limited consultation and harmonization on public health matters. Vaccination programmes have evolved in different countries in function of the perceived disease burden inflicted on their populations by an infectious disease and the availability of an effective vaccine against it. Besides epidemiological factors, traditional organisational, emotional and socio-economic factors may have had led to variations in immunization schedules. The ones adopted were those found convenient and efficacious. As a result, in Europe, no two countries have exactly the same time-scheme of vaccine inoculations. However, the diseases for which universal immunization is recommended are almost the same in most countries. These traditionally include diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps and rubella; and Haemophilus influenzae type b and hepatitis B becoming targeted diseases in an increasing number of countries. In some countries vaccination against some diseases is mandatory, but, in most, it is only recommended and acceptance mostly depends on education and information of health care providers and of the general population. The increased use of multi-antigen combined vaccines will simplify the vaccination schedule, and form a potential step in the direction of harmonization. But, what harmonization do we need? Defining minimum age levels by which certain recommended vaccines should have been given, represents a constructive achievement over the countries in Europe. Finally, each schedule should allow enough flexibility to rapidly and efficiently incorporate additional vaccines in the calendar, where these become available, or allow extension of universal immunization programmes to other age cohorts. This will contribute to the tremendous potential that vaccines offer for health. 10
